I worked past this.  I turns out that my <DISTRO>.conf file had
this line in it (needed by some of the OLD meta-texasinstruments
recipes):
   OVERRIDES .= ":${FEED_ARCH}:${SOC_FAMILY}"
I took out the FEED_ARCH and now I'm getting farther.

Next hurdle:
   Could not include required file recipes-images/angstrom/systemd-image.bb
