 Hi Steve,

 No reason to send this twice :-)

 Since the new oracle-mysql package does seem to get built, the virtual package
itself can't be the issue.

 I also don't see any other change since 2016.08 that could be relevant.

 That is indeed a problem... Could you see what the package *does* install? Just
'grep ^oracle-mysql output/build/packages-file-list.txt'.

 I'll try to build with this defconfig when I find the time. However:

 I obviously can't use this toolchain, but I would be surprised if that were the
issue.

 This script doesn't happen to remove mysqld_safe, does it? :-)

 Please use a pastebin for such huge output.

 Autoreconf often gives a lot of warnings, they can be ignored.
