[yocto] Building poky-tiny for ARM fails in do_compile of elfutils

[Chatre, Reinette]

Hi,

I am trying to create a poky-tiny based image for ARM. This currently
fails in the "do_compile" task of elfutils. As a first attempt I try to
have things as simple as possible. Starting with a clean 7.0 Denzil
in /opt/poky.git on my development system and use a separate build
directory $HOME/poky_build that is created as:

$ cd $HOME/poky_build
$ . /opt/poky.git/oe-init-build-env .

I edit the $HOME/poky_build/conf/local.conf as below:

After the above I kick off a build with:

$ bitbake core-image-minimal

As mentioned earlier, the above fails in "do_compile" of elfutils with output like:

I would appreciate any hints on how to build a poky-tiny image for ARM.
I would prefer to build an image that can run in the host's qemu, not
needing yocto to build qemu. It seems that I will have to create a new
machine configuration for that but wanted to see if I can get the
standard items built first, which is giving the problems described
above.

Thank you very much
