Khem,

In RMC, two different test stages are defined in workflow. Please refer to "Patch submission & Maintenance” in README in rmc project.

This patch to upstream rmc project was tested against rmc internal test suite (1st test stage) with yocto minimal images, RMC binaries built with the image, and another pending hash-style patch in recipe. See below.

A QA checker of hash style in OE will fail once the --static is gone because it only expects gnu_hash for SYMTAB in dynamic section in ELF. The patch of hash issue in rmc recipe is under test (2nd test stage) with builtin examples in meta-intel for the next rmc revision update. This fix for an OE-specifc enforcement should be another step beyond this upstream patch’s submission and rmc project.

But I probably should mention it in submission for a better clarity. Hope the info could help. Feel free to let me know anything I missed.

Thanks!
