We started seeing:

No real function for mknod: /home/paul/poky_sdk/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-
linux/usr/bin/../lib/pseudo/lib64/libpseudo.so: undefined symbol: mknod
No real function for mknodat: /home/paul/poky_sdk/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-
linux/usr/bin/../lib/pseudo/lib64/libpseudo.so: undefined symbol: mknodat

In glibc 2.24 they've merged:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=7d45c163d00c88d5875a112343c4ea3e61349e6b
related to bugzilla entry:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19509

which means that the behaviour of RTLD_NEXT is slightly different.
As far as I can tell, mknod has not been present in glibc for a while. 
To quote stat.h:

/* To allow the `struct stat' structure and the file type `mode_t'
   bits to vary without changing shared library major version number,
   the `stat' family of functions and `mknod' are in fact inline
   wrappers around calls to `xstat', `fxstat', `lxstat', and `xmknod',
   which all take a leading version-number argument designating the
   data structure and bits used.  <bits/stat.h> defines _STAT_VER with
   the version number corresponding to `struct stat' as defined in
   that file; and _MKNOD_VER with the version number corresponding to
   the S_IF* macros defined therein.  It is arranged that when not
   inlined these function are always statically linked; that way a
   dynamically-linked executable always encodes the version number
   corresponding to the data structures it uses, so the `x' functions
   in the shared library can adapt without needing to recompile all
   callers.  */

so I suspect mknod has not existed for a while, if ever and what we
were finding, who knows. Everying in the system links against _xmknod
which we have a separate wrapper for.

Anyhow, ignoring that problem which hasn't caused a issue in the past, 
the RTLD_NEXT change causes messages to be printed to stdout which causes 
carnage if for example the packaging code is expecting a list of packages:

WARNING: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: No not found in the base feeds (qemux86_64 core2-64 x86_64 noarch any all).
WARNING: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: real not found in the base feeds (qemux86_64 core2-64 x86_64 noarch any all).

WARNING: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: mknod: not found in the base feeds (qemux86_64 core2-64 x86_64 noarch any all).
[etc]

This bug will affect:
* any distro using glibc 2.24
* any system using a uninative tarball for glibc 2.24
* any system which took a backport for the fix which was merged into
  the 2.23 branch for a while before it was reverted (Fedora 23 had this)

The easiest thing to do is to ignore the problem and disable the diag
message which masks the problem with no ill effects.

As Peter notes, there are a few issues here:

* the fact there is no mknod symbol
* the fact an error here isn't fatal
* the #ifdef/#else looks suspect
* handle RTLD_NEXT chaining properly (need more libs?)

which he'll work on upstream and hopefully have fixed in a new version.
