           Summary: RRECOMMEND for libgcc in glibc/eglibc
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: Angstrom 2008.x
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: org.openembedded.dev
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: raj.khem at gmail.com


Currently we have RRECOMMEND for libgcc in glibc/eglibc. That causes build
problems when we set BB_STAMP_POLICY = "whitelist"

The reason is that libgcc package is build with cross-gcc and cross-gcc is
built after glibc in build sequence. But because we set RRECOMMEND for libgcc
in libgcc it creates a circular dependency.

Secondly, creating a RDEPEND for libgcc in a package that makes the glibc calls
which invoke libgcc inturn makes more sense.

If we remove RRECOMMEND then libgcc does not get pulled into root file system
image because glibc opens libgcc with __libc_dlopen and shlib code can not
detect such dependencies and when we boot such a system then we get this
message 

libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work

and boot process does not complete.
