+Subject: [PATCH] Link with shared libyajl in a shared build
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Building yajl in a static context fails in a parallel build:
+
+[ 21%] Linking C executable gen-extra-close
+[ 26%] Building C object src/CMakeFiles/yajl_s.dir/yajl_buf.c.o
+/home/test/autobuild/instance-3/output/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bfin-uclinux/bfin-uclinux/bin/ld.real: cannot find -lyajl
+
+Fix this issue by linking against the shared libyail in a shared build. Apply
+this fix also to all other build targets who are linking against the library.
+
+Upstream status: Pending
