From you messages, I infer that you are using the meta-zynq layer 
located here:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-zynq/

For my builds, I used Philip Ballister's meta-zynq layer located here
for the simple reason that it uses xilinx git repository:

https://github.com/balister/meta-zynq

Also, try to ensure that you don't put both the meta-layers in your bblayers.conf file
while building, and ensure that you set machine as follows in your local.conf file

MACHINE ?= "zynq-zc702"

Do let me know how it goes!
