Hi *,
when trying to build the centos-stream-9 main-automotive kernel for the
x86_64 architecture as described in the automotive sig documentation
<https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/building/building_an_os_image_that%20use…>,
it fails.
The failing command appears to be
/usr/bin/make -s 'HOSTCFLAGS=-O2 -fexceptions -g -grecord-gcc-switches
-pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
-Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1

with the error

This is the unmodified main-automotive branch of the current
centos-stream-9 kernel on a current centos-stream-9 system.
Setting ulimit -S -s unlimited for ARG_MAX 6291456 does not make any
difference. It looks like the actual problem is not with the rsync command
line.
Any hint what is going wrong and how to proceed?

Dear list,
Hopefully I'm subscribed now and the email is not lost. I'd like to make a
request for a `k3-upstream-boot` repository at `
https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/rpms/`
<https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/rpms/>. This repository will host the
RPM package for firmware needed to boot TI k3 platforms like the J784S4 EVM
and AM69-SK boards.
While here, I'd like to take the opportunity to ask you to create another
repository, 's32g-vendor-boot'. Similar to the other, this repository will
host the RPM package for firmware needed to boot S32G platforms using the
public vendor components/repositories
Your help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Enric

Both projects have been created:

Happy packing!
