To make my question more precise: mkfifo in the do_install() section works. I can see the named pipe in build/tmp-glibc/work/*/*/*/ but my bitbake hangs in the do_package_write_ipk and do_package_qa tasks. Possibly it's because named pipes cannot be packed into an archive? If yes, how can I circumvent this?
