Great!

So just FYI this will only work for the standard SDK, it's not the right way 
to add these tools for the eSDK - in fact it may break the eSDK due to 
bringing things into the native sysroot that shouldn't be there.

At the moment I think the only way to properly add this to the eSDK is to do 
this:

SDK_TARGETS += "ti-cgt-pru-native:do_populate_sysroot"

We don't document this, and it's a little awkward in any case. I'll work on 
it.

Where did you build this? Just in your normal build?

This kind of error indicates that a variable value is changing while bitbake 
is running - often this is caused by date/time values in variables. Looking in 
meta-ti I can't see anything that would cause this though. Was it only showing 
up for nativesdk-ti-cgt-pru ?

Right. Are you using uninative? If not, you probably should (and I just sent a 
patch to disable building the eSDK without it).

Thanks!
