Subject: bitbake.conf: Add timeout to HOSTTOOLS
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7dc971dd5b91047f1e14c1f35624fa88da2e1d48;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core.git

bitbake.conf: Add timeout to HOSTTOOLS

The glibc iconv/tst-iconv_prog test uses timeout(1) on the host to
guard against hangs during charset conversion testing. Since timeout
is not listed in HOSTTOOLS, it is unavailable in the Yocto build
environment, causing the test to fail with exit code 127 (command not
found) instead of the expected conversion error code.

AB testresults (qemux86-64-tc):

  | FAIL         | 30     | 29     | -1   |
  | UNSUPPORTED  | 584    | 584    |  0   |
  | XFAIL        | 16     | 16     |  0   |

  iconv/tst-iconv_prog  FAIL -> PASS

With this fix, iconv/tst-iconv_prog now passes on all architectures.
Verified on AB.
