The shared state cache as pointed to by SSTATE_DIR by default now has
two-character subdirectories to prevent there being an issue with too
many files in the same directory; also, native sstate packages will go
into a subdirectory named using the distro ID string. If you copy the
newly structured sstate cache to a mirror location (either local or
remote) and then point to it in SSTATE_MIRRORS, you need to append
"PATH" to the end of the mirror URL so that the path used by bitbake
before the mirror substitution is appended to the path used to access
the mirror.

The autoconf macros detect the presence of -ldbm or -lndbm on the host
system and add the library to link against, for now good reason I can
explain.
This patch makes the build behave determinstically whether they're
present or not. Other than the extra linkage, there doesn't appear to be
any other change in behaviour from these options and they look like
dead code.
The extra linkage can cause problems where sstate is used on a machine
where the extra librbary isn't present causing build failures.

This line causes pkgconfig-dev to replace pkgconfig so the package with all the files
in is replaced by one with no files. This makes no sense and hence we should just
remove this broken line.
At this point in the release, this is the safest way to fix this even if an empty -dev
package is left available.

The eglibc core build still has a number of issues with /bin/dash.
Recently found is both sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh and it's output,
which make calls via SHELL do not play well with /bin/dash. By force
make to use /bin/bash via SHELL setting it works correctly.
Currenly known issues are: make-syscalls.sh line with a bad substitution,
which can be corrected by:
vdso_symver="$(printf '%s\n' ${vdso_symver} | sed 's/\./_/')"
Following that there is an issue with emiting a '\n' through a second
echo and then to the compiler. There maybe more issues beyond that.

perl.c uses an ARCHLIB_EXP define to generate compile-time code that
adds the archlibexp path to @INC during run-time initialization of a
new perl interpreter.
Because we've changed this value in a temporary way to make it
possible to use ExtUtils::Embed in the target build (the temporary
value in config.sh gets re-stripped out during packaging), the
ARCHLIB_EXP value that gets generated still uses the temporary version
instead of the original expected version (i.e. becauses it's in the
generated config.h, it doesn't get stripped out during packaging like
the others in config.sh).
This creates an unmodified version called archlib_exp that gets used
by a modified config_h.SH to get the correct value into config.h
This patch uses an unmodified version of archlibexp called
archlib_exp, introduced to config.sh, which is used to generate the
correct value of ARCHLIB_EXP into config.h
