I just rebuilt Chrome with the latest meta-browser (and meta-fsl-arm-*)
There are many rendering problems on the Google main page and then I
get these errors:

[872:872:0508/165904:ERROR:image_metadata_extractor.cc(111)] Couldn't load libexif.

This is on a board using the Boundary Devices 3.10.53 kernel
(I don't have a board here that runs a "pure" FSLC kernel)
but as far as I can tell the BD kernel is the FSLC kernel
with some of their own patches, mostly to do with cameras.

Anything I can look for/test?

Also note that this kernel has lots of [rendering] problems
with other applications.  For example, if I run the new Gstreamer-1.0
based "media player" to play a video, it will bring up the window but
not render any video frames or sometimes render a few and then freeze.
