Description Matt Weber 2017-09-25 21:03:36 UTC 
We noticed the build always pulls the path in under ./host/share/gdb/auto-load/* when installing some gdb python files.  Haven't dug further at this point.

i.e
./host/share/gdb/auto-load/home/johndoe/build_folder/host/lib/*.py
Comment 1 Thomas Petazzoni 2017-10-31 21:15:30 UTC 
Could you provide a defconfig that exhibits the problem?

The following defconfig builds host-gdb with Python support, but I don't have this auto-load folder in host/share/gdb/.

No news from Matt for more than 6 months, closing.
