[yocto] override SITEINFO_BITS?

[Trevor Woerner]

Hi,

First time building Yocto (but have been using OE) on an openSUSE 11.4
64-bit host:
$ bitbake core-image-minimal

One of the first steps is to build pseudo-native. As it turns out I
have the glibc-devel-32bit package installed on my machine. This
appears to confuse meta/classes/siteinfo.bbclass into thinking I'm on
a 32-bit machine. Pseudo, as a consequence, gets misconfigured and
fails to build. Removing the glibc-devel-32bit package solves the
problem.

Is there a way to override or define SITEINFO_BITS (maybe in a site
config file) or on the cmdline?

$gcc -v

Could this (x86_64-suse-linux) be confusing siteinfo.bbclass?
