These programs reference the kernel includes directly for some
ARM/i.MX specific headers (e.g. linux/mxcfb.h).  These headers
are not part of the mainline kernel which is used to create the
kernel headers that populates tmp/sysroots, so the build fails.
Note: I'm not sure of the mechanism that lets these programs
peek into the kernel build (I looked at them but nothing jumped
out), but they do build find if the kernel is actually built
and not just brought in by sstate.

Is this an error  if so, which recipe is at fault?  The FSL
recipes, or the new kernel build/classes?


Per commit 46cdaf1c7bc597735d926af6a46f9483f7e57ce5 (oe-core 
6a1ff0e7eacef595738f2fed086986fd622ec32a), you need to add this if you depend 
on the sources:

 do_configure[depends] += virtual/kernel:do_shared_workdir

Thanks, I'm checking now to see if this fixes the problem.

One thing I noted is I added that line to the two recipes in
question.  When I [re]built my target image with these changes
in a tree that I had just built using only sstate, it kicked
off a ton of tasks (~6000!), and it seems that it's now rebuilding
everything from scratch, not just unpacking the kernel.  Once this
finishes, I'll try another rebuild from sstate to see how that works,
but it sure looks like it's doing a lot more than necessary.

Is this to be expected?


I'm not sure why this complete rebuild happened (sadly, it took
more than 8 hours...)  When it completed, I tried another rebuild
from sstate only and things worked as expected with everything
coming in from sstate.

One concern though - the kernel package seems to have been completely
rebuilt, not just the work-shared tree being repopulated.  Is this
correct?

Thanks for the swift answer to this problem.
