Alright!
There has been a success. Both on the tarball and on the manifest file. jeej!
Both have been build successfully. I have not tested the image on hardware yet.
I have been using the docker file below and build with make dev; exit; make.
The main difference is that I did not install the toolchain within the container. And threw out all containers and begun clean with building a new one.
I can now continue my project. Thank you for you help and assistance.
