i asked about this once upon a time, so i thought i'd follow up ... given the fairly stable state of recent linux distros, is there any standard for taking advantage of what *should* be robust native tools rather than building them? (i'm ignoring taking advantage of sstate and building SDKs and other clever speedups for now.)
from scratch, i did a wind river (LINCD) build of wrlinux-image-small (and i assume it would be much the same under current oe-core), and i notice that numerous native tools were compiled, including such standards as cmake, curl, elfutils ... the list goes on and on. so other than the tools that are *required* to be installed, if i mention that i am currently running ubuntu 20.04, is there any indication as to which tools i'm relatively safe to take advantage using ASSUME_PROVIDED and HOSTTOOLS? i realize that the versions built will probably differ from the host versions, but it seems that if there is an incompatibility, that would be fairly obvious in short order. thoughts? rday
