This was once backported, but subsequently reverted, see: http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=ec740ac770d2124cbae1ab936d85b8343076c53b autoconf-native is not available at the point of quilt-native, so autoreconf is not desirable. This is also the reason for separation of quilt and quilt-native from the very beginning. Apart from that, the workaround is solely for target recipe. > > there are options --with-patch --with-diff also > there to point these utilities The problem still lies in cross building: --with-patch=${bindir}/patch at build time, it's /usr/bin/patch which is host utility, if target ${bindir} /= /usr/bin, the file may not exist. --with-patch=${STAGING_BINDIR}/patch causes runtime error as ${STAGING_BINDIR} leaks into target scripts --with-patch=patch this may work, but may fail (in case the target scripts unset PATH) This is the problem of such tests without the concept of a target sysroot.
