 The errata switches are only valid for aarch64, not for armv7a.
 There is likely some kind of "invalid option" earlier in your build.

I've been able to rebuild 64-bit Linux code with the ARM errata switches, by 
adding the following line to the end of 
/meta/conf/machine/include/arm/arch-arm64.inc, 

TUNE_CCARGS += "${@bb.utils.contains("TUNE_FEATURES", "aarch64", " 
-mfix-cortex-a53-843419 -mfix-cortex-a53-835769", "" ,d)}”

Please let me know if you have any thoughts about this approach.

 I am closer to understanding why I experience an error when building with 
 the ARM errata switches.
 
 I believe it is related to 32-bit app support in my poky Linux 64-bit 
 build (I add this to support vcgencmd and vcdbg 32-bit apps.)
 
 When I remove the 32-bit support, the build completes OK.  As of now, 
 adding the following seems to work fine to acheive this:
 
 TARGET_CC_ARCH_append += " -mfix-cortex-a53-843419 -mfix-cortex-a53-835769”
 
 Something in the following block seems to be the culprit.:
 
 # for vcgencmd and vcdbg 32-bit executable support in the OS image 
 (comment out for -c populate_sdk)
 require conf/multilib.conf
 MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32"
 DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "armv7a"
 IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " vcgencmd lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc 
 lib32-libstdc++ vcdbg rpi-setup \
 “
 
 I will post again when I have localized the build problem further.  Maybe 
 there’s some 64-bit vs. 32-bit build confusion going on, and the armv7a 
 default tune switch for 32-bits is colliding with the errata switches.

Andrei and/or Khem,

Could you advise an approach that allows to use the ARM errata switches for the 
aarch64 portion of the build for the target, but which will NOT specify the ARM 
errata switches for our supplementary 32-bit portion of the build for the 
target?  (This supplementary 32-bit portion of the build is to support the 
32-bit vcgencmd app, and contains multilib and some additional 32-bit 
libraires.  Please see earlier post for the syntax we use in our local.conf.)

This doesn’t work.

If I wish to keep the 32-bit app support in my build, I’ll need to devise a way 
to make sure those ARM errata flags are only applied to the aarch64 portion of 
the compile/link for the target, not to the multilib 32-bit app support portion.

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts so far.

To conitnue to be able to use the 32-bit app support, perhaps I must do this:

DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib32 = “armv7a -mno-fix-cortex-a53-843419 
-mno-fix-cortex-a53-835769”

I’ll give it a try.

The errata switches are only valid for aarch64, not for armv7a.
There is likely some kind of "invalid option" earlier in your build.

I believe it is related to 32-bit app support in my poky Linux 64-bit build (I

When I remove the 32-bit support, the build completes OK.  As of now, adding

TARGET_CC_ARCH_append += " -mfix-cortex-a53-843419 -mfix-cortex-a53-835769”

Something in the following block seems to be the culprit.:

I will post again when I have localized the build problem further.  Maybe 
there’s some 64-bit vs. 32-bit build confusion going on, and the armv7a default 
tune switch for 32-bits is colliding with the errata switches.

It is fixed in some r0p4 implementations, indicated in REVIDR[8].

As far as I know that is the latest revision. Do you mean that newer revision 
might come up with this fixed?

Up to r0b4 only so maybe not all a53 implementations are impacted

this will impact rpi3 in 64bit mode, don't think 32bit needs this. I
think its best to
add this option in raspberrypi3-64.conf perhaps via TUNE_CCARGS


I was thinking about this. The erratum seems to show that this applies 
to all revisions of a53. So it sounds like we should add it in 
`tune-cortexa53.inc`.

this will impact rpi3 in 64bit mode, don't think 32bit needs this. I
think its best to
add this option in raspberrypi3-64.conf perhaps via TUNE_CCARGS
