I am trying to use Yocto with meta-tegra ( https://github.com/madisongh/meta-tegra ) to build a minimal system for the Nvidia Jetson Nano. I need to use CUDA ( current version 10 for Nano ) with OpenCV on this platform. CUDA 10 only support GCC 7, and not GCC 8. GCC 7 has be deprecated and removed from OpenEmbedded Warrior release in favor of GCC 8.3. My error has to do with trying to use GCC 7 with Warrior release of OE: configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile
The README for meta-tegra states the following:
* CUDA 10 supports up through gcc 7 only, and some NVIDIA-provided
binary libraries appear to be compiled with g++ 7 and cause linker
failures when building applications with g++ 6, so **only** gcc 7
should be used if you intend to use CUDA. (For Jetson-TK1, CUDA 6.5
supports up through gcc 5.x only.)
Selecting the toolchain version
-------------------------------
Toolchain version selection is usually a distro configuration setting,
but you can also set this in your build/conf/local.conf file. To use
gcc 7 instead of gcc 8, set:
GCCVERSION = "7.%"
but you will also need the gcc 7 toolchain recipes in one of your layers,
since it was retired from OE-Core in favor of gcc 8.
I have tried the following script on both a brand new, fresh, install of Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04. Both machines failed with the same error:

How can I get this to compile? Thanks.
I had the same problem and after a quick investigation I discovered that the reason of the failure is the flag -fmacro-debug-prefix not present in gcc7.
It is used in bitbake.conf by the variableDEBUG_PREFIX_MAP, if you set it to not contain the flag in your local.conf that problem will disappear (maybe others will appear:P).
I'm not an expert of Yocto so maybe such change could have unexpected side effect (probably the path during debug will be screwed up).
