glibc includes some binaries such as ldd, that support a --version flag. glibc can be configured with --with-pkgversion=<something> to display some additional information for the --version flag. We can calculate a hash value for the glibc sources and use it as an argument for --with-pkgversion to sign our builds. That will allow us to identify glibc binaries via the output of 'ldd --version'. Signed-off-by: Mikhail Durnev <mikhail_durnev@mentor.com>

This is an interesting approach, but bitbake already does checksumming of task input, including SRC_URI sources, so I wonder if we couldn't use that existing knowledge, which would capture both input sources and metadata. |

SUMMARY: glibc: Add versioning
DESCRIPTION: glibc: Add versioning
RESOLUTION:
We can calculate a hash value for the glibc sources and use it as
an argument for --with-pkgversion to sign our builds. That will allow us
to identify glibc binaries via the output of 'ldd --version'.
DEPENDENCIES: None

TEST SUMMARY: Build in two different workspaces and compare hashes. Hashes must depend only on the glibc sources.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS: None
SOURCES: None
