+From 33798f3e484ebd3470e9da791b73b4b90ba12bc3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Yi Zhao <yi.zhao@windriver.com>
+Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2020 15:04:03 +0800
+Subject: [PATCH] hgfsmounter/Makefile.am: support usrmerge
+
+There is a do_package error when enable usrmerge feature due to the
+hardcoded sbin directory. Remove this piece of code because we already
+create the symbolic link in do_install.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [oe-specific]
