[yocto] build failure on denzil - n450

[jfabernathy]

Something has changes very recently.  I was building with a fresh clone 
of poky and meta-intel.  checked out Denzil on both. only modified to 
support the meta-n450 layer, the parallel options and the local download 
directory.

I got an error compiling the kernel.  It didn't fail yesterday early, 
but now I get the same failure on Ubuntu 12.04 and Fedora 16.
