Its not the complete solution but I thought the traceback you saw was
very confusing. The same error now would give:

| NOTE: Checking autotools environment for common misconfiguration
| FATAL: Gettext required but not in DEPENDS for file /media/data1/builds/poky2/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/coreutils-8.5-r0/coreutils-8.5/configure.ac.

NOTE: package coreutils-8.5-r0: task do_configure: Failed

which is I hope slightly clearer and has the bug fixed where it wasn't
showing the line that actually failed if it was the last line (line 36).

In future I'd not like this to show a traceback at all if a sensible
error has been given to a user as in this case but at least this makes
the tracebacks more usable.

Cheers,
