I spent a LOT of time debugging the build system. Last time I worked on this was 2 months ago, and that was before I switched to Void Linux (musl) from Gentoo. Logged time for this devlog is so low because it’s 99% debugging black magic logs and 1% of actually modifying the configs.

Lessons learned: don’t trust the GNU mirrors. don’t trust BitBake to do its job, and don’t set a custom DL_DIR for BitBake because it will not use it properly and cause issues. also do not do Yocto development on musl libc.

It turns out that Yocto compilation also just dies on musl so I’m now running the build in Docker (recurring theme with my projects, isn’t it?)

I think I’ve almost got the build to start working again, just need to fix some locales in the Docker container and we should be good to go!
