I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 and Fedora 16 on the borrowed machine as 
well. And still failing in the same manner. I am trying to do what Khem 
suggested and get core files but for some reason, even though it is 
saying I have it set to unlimited it is still not spitting anything out.

I have abandoned Arch on the build machines for now as to keep that out 
of the variables.

It is not the only OS that does this for me. I am honestly surprised to 
hear Arch is hard, as that is how I see OE and trying to get a 
functioning build machine. :P

I just got my 2nd borrowed machine today and starting to set it up now. 
Installing Ubuntu on it.

If there is a single OS to install and try on all 3 I will happily do it 
again. But this is a non OS dependent thing is my guess since I am on 2 
machines now that have done this.

My QA.log's are still basically the same as well. all relating to LD 
type issues.

I am still working through getting the image built on th1st borrowed 
machine it is slow and starting the

Again OE classic(gumstix branch does not segfault on my machine that 
started all this it only started happening once I started trying to 
build a BBXM image on a new install on the same machine.

If there is a OS and configuration to specifically try then outside of 
what is listed on the Angstrom pages and OE and your Distro pages please 
fill me in and will try. But as it stands now 2 totally different 
machines have gone through 3+ OS changes all have the same issue, all 
relatively the same issues and logs that were posted before. Should I 
attach more logs?
