[yocto] trouble building bsp for arm

[Dallas Clement]

Hi Tom,

The first thing I tried is building a minimal distro with "bitbake
core-image-minimal".  That completed successfully and I was able to
execute it with qemu.

Then I tried to build a bsp for ARM, which failed with errors shown
earlier.  I just tried now for x86_64.  It failed too with the same
errors.

I am using the latest poky tarball - poky-denzil-7.0.tar.bz2

Thanks,

Dallas
