[oe] OpenEmbedded compile error with MIPS and EGLIBC

[Ryan Phillips]

Hi All,

I’m trying to get openembedded to build me a 32bit MIPS toolchain
using EGLIBC (GLIBC is working ok). GCC seems to compile ok, but when
I get to eglibc 2.10 and 2.11 the compiler spits this error:

| /home/rphillips/sdk/build-dell-tor-angstrom/tmp/work/mips-angstrom-linux/eglibc-2.11-r11.6/build-mips-angstrom-linux/libc_pic.os:

It appears the Debian MIPS stack uses EGLIBC and GCC 4 successfully.
Does anyone know what the problem is, and how I can fix it?
