I was looking at some of the package build failures and saw that the package gettext is failing due to test failures. Looking on the web I see that others have indicated that the test that fails may be related to the gnulib used for m4:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2011-07/msg00003.html
"This is failing with EINVAL instead of ENOENT, which is contrary to POSIX. However, this kernel bug has already been papered over in gnulib, which means that it is merely a matter of updating m4 to use newer gnulib to make this test failure go away."
It looks like the "fix"/workaround (if it is indeed correct) may have come after we built m4 for stage3.
I'm not that familiar with the stage3 builds, and what may or may not have been done to get them to build for ARM, so if someone familiar with it would not mind looking into this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
