The 'sysroot.specs' feature causes GCC failure for the 'nweb' bundle on Ubuntu about minimal HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you confirm if each of the paths exists ?
/home/ivan/minimal/src/work/sysroot/lib
/home/ivan/minimal/src/work/sysroot/lib64
/home/ivan/minimal/src/work/sysroot/usr/lib
/home/ivan/minimal/src/work/sysroot/usr/lib64
/home/ivan/minimal/src/work/sysroot/usr/local/lib
/home/ivan/minimal/src/work/sysroot/usr/local/lib64
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5
The last one seems odd to me.
I should have noted that the sysroot.specs file needs to be regenerated if you move the projects location because it contains absolute paths.

The lib64 directory doesn't exist because glibc is compiled with --prefix= and all shared objects are generated in the src/work/sysroot/lib folder.

The last folder is computed from the output of gcc -print-libgcc-file-name and in my case this gives /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/libgcc.a.

Are you sure that the sysroot (glibc, etc ...) have been compiled ?
There should not be any issue with the spec file itself.

The sysroot is fine and I can produce MLL ISO image which also works fine. I have only tried the dhcp and nweb bundles so far. The dhcp bundle works fine (there is no compilation work there) and MLL gets IP via DHCP but the nweb bundle fails and the actual binary is not produced.

I have pushed my latest changes. Using the latest kernel and glibc shouldn't be the root cause of this issue. Nevertheless, I'll also give it a try with the older kernel and glibc.

I have removed the -spec functionality in order to workaround the issue.

I'm closing this issue since the overlay bundle build process is stable for now. The idea behind the proposed -specs feature is great and I am willing to adopt it in the future if it is stable enough.
