I see those kind of errors without this patch all the time, when a
build directory is hosed, and normally it means it's time for a rm -rf
and start over. It happens quite often when building in the same
directory multiple times. Are you sure it's related to this particular
patch?

No, not completely sure, however, the issue was gone as soon as the
patch has been removed. Richard may have more insight.

Not sure this helps but we also get:

WARNING: nativesdk-util-linux-2.36.2-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: nativesdk-util-linux rdepends on nativesdk-util-linux-uuid, but it isn't a build dependency? [build-deps]

Uhm I don't understand this warning, it _is_ a build dependency? Any
idea?

This was the failing build if you want to look at the config to try to
reproduce:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/20/builds/3440

-DEPENDS = "libcap-ng ncurses virtual/crypt zlib"
+DEPENDS = "libcap-ng ncurses virtual/crypt zlib util-linux-uuid"

and I'm adding https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/47/builds/3137/steps/12/logs/stdio :

ERROR: util-linux-uuid-2.36.2-r0 do_package: QA Issue: util-linux-uuid: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package:
  /usr/lib/libuuid.a
Please set FILES such that these items are packaged. Alternatively if they are unneeded, avoid installing them or delete them within do_install.

Whops, indeed I forgot the static archive, fixed now.
