On x32 builds, sysd-syscalls appears malformed since the make-target-directory appears on the wrong line. This causes races during the build process where you can see failures like: Assembler messages: Fatal error: can't create [...]glibc/2.21-r0/build-x86_64-poky-linux-gnux32/time/gettimeofday.os: No such file or directory Assembler messages: Fatal error: can't create [...]glibc/2.21-r0/build-x86_64-poky-linux-gnux32/time/time.os: No such file or directory The isue is that the carridge return is being escaped when it should not be. The change to sysd-syscalls with this change: before: """ $(foreach p,$(sysd-rules-targets),$(objpfx)$(patsubst %,$p,time).os): \ $(..)sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh $(make-target-directory) (echo '#include '; """ after: """ $(foreach p,$(sysd-rules-targets),$(objpfx)$(patsubst %,$p,time).os): \ $(..)sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh $(make-target-directory) (echo '#include '; """ which ensures the target directory is correctly created. Only x32 uses the vdso code which contains the bug which is why the error only really appears on x32.
