[ptxdist] Build OSELAS toolchain fails saying that make is "too old"

[ptxdist] Build OSELAS toolchain fails saying that make is "too old"

[Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia]

Hello,

I am rebuilding OSELAS.Toolchain-2012.12.1 on a new machine (Ubuntu
16.04). This is for an existing target platform; previous versions of
the toolchain were built on Ubuntu 10 and Ubuntu 12 hosts.

Now when I try to build the toolchain, the glibc-headers package fails
to build with this error:

*** These critical programs are missing or too old: make

I guess my make is actually too new (4.1) rather than too old. Any
ideas how to fix this?

Thank you,

The check is broken and does not accept make 4.x. Please use
OSELAS.Toolchain-2012.12.2. It has a fix for this and several CVEs.

Thank you for your answer, however I would like to avoid switching to
a different toolchain. After all the whole point of ptxdist was to
have reproducible builds...

I'll see if I can backport the fixes.

Sure. But OSELAS.Toolchain-2012.12.2 is only a minor update.
