Thanks, I included this in automated testing and its shown a few
issues:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/79/builds/943

"oe-selftest -r
sstatetests.SStateTests.test_sstate_nativelsbstring_same_hash " should
reproduce

I think multiconfig.MultiConfig.test_multiconfig and
multiconfig.MultiConfig.test_multiconfig are also related but its
harder to be sure.

package.PackageTests.test_gdb_hardlink_debug isn't related in there.
runqemu.RunqemuTests.test_boot_deploy_hddimg and
runqemu.RunqemuTests.test_boot_machine_iso could be, not sure.

Cheers,

Richard
