Closed sources binaries and compilation flags about meta-freescale HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @blemouzy,

• Are they built with security flags? (enabled by default with Kirkstone)

The graphics packages mostly do use them, but I don't know about the rest. I suspect they may not. I have made an internal ticket to address this.

• Are they built with time64 flags?

This issue was not on our radar until Yocto mandated it with Nanbield. We have made some progress on this for our Q1 Nanbield release, but, unfortunately, we do not have a plan to backport any of this to Kirkstone. Otherwise, we hope to make some good progress on both issues for our Q2 release, where we are targeting the next Yocto LTS 5.0 Scarthgap.

Thanks!
Please keep us in touch.

Do you think that we will able to use these new precompiled libraries with Kirkstone?

Hi @blemouzy, unfortunately, my understanding is that the latest will not work with Kirkstone due to different glibc versions.
