<title>Development Host System Issues</title>
<para>
Sometimes issues on the host development system can cause your
build to fail.
Following are known, host-specific problems.
Be sure to always consult the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;/download/yocto/yocto-project-&DISTRO;-release-notes-poky-&POKYVERSION;'>Release Notes</ulink>
for a look at all release-related issues.

<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>eglibc-initial</filename> fails to build</emphasis>:
If your development host system has the unpatched
<filename>GNU Make 3.82</filename>,
the <filename>do_install</filename> task
fails for <filename>eglibc-initial</filename> during the
build.</para>
<para>Typically, every distrobution that ships
<filename>GNU Make 3.82</filename> as
the default already has the patched version.
However, some distributions, such as Debian, have
<filename>GNU Make 3.82</filename> as an option, which
is unpatched.
You will see this error on these types of distributions.
Switch to <filename>GNU Make 3.81</filename> or patch
your <filename>make</filename> to solve the problem.
