[yocto] arm-*-linux-gnueabi : unrecognized option -Wl, -soname

[Pietro]

Well,

I am cross-compiling the gRPC using the Yocto build system, I have
created a recipe for a new package which generates the gRPC
library(ies).

The error comes from here *guess* :
ifeq ($(SYSTEM),Darwin)
     $(Q) $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -L$(LIBDIR)/$(CONFIG) -install_name
     $(SHARED_PREFIX)gpr$(SHARED_VERSION).$(SHARED_EXT) -dynamiclib -o
     $(LIBDIR)/$(CONFIG)/libgpr$(SHARED_VERSION).$(SHARED_EXT)
     $(LIBGPR_OBJS) $(LDLIBS) $(ZLIB_MERGE_LIBS)
     else
        $(Q) $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -L$(LIBDIR)/$(CONFIG) -shared
        -Wl,-soname,libgpr.so.1 -o
        $(LIBDIR)/$(CONFIG)/libgpr$(SHARED_VERSION).$(SHARED_EXT)
        $(LIBGPR_OBJS) $(LDLIBS) $(ZLIB_MERGE_LIBS)
                       $(Q) ln -sf
                       $(SHARED_PREFIX)gpr$(SHARED_VERSION).$(SHARED_EXT)
                       $(LIBDIR)/$(CONFIG)/libgpr$(SHARED_VERSION).so.1
                        $(Q) ln -sf
                        $(SHARED_PREFIX)gpr$(SHARED_VERSION).$(SHARED_EXT)
                        $(LIBDIR)/$(CONFIG)/libgpr$(SHARED_VERSION).so
                        endif

What's puzzles me is that the same source code builds without problem on
my machine (not cross compiled).

It might be a question for gRPC developers though
