Yes, this is a rather touch ball of twine with all these layers - they have to
be properly aligned to get something that builds.

Work arounds:
   * You could checkout meta-ti to something that matches denzil
     Revision 30fb40ebc13614a74c2e237927c60ac43e01d1bc works for me.
   * Rename home/jim/meta-ti/recipes-core/netbase/netbase_5.0.bbappend to be
     home/jim/meta-ti/recipes-core/netbase/netbase_4.47.bbappend
   * Add BB_DANGLINGAPPENDS_WARNONLY to your local.conf
