No, it is not related, this problem doesn't need any fancy
configuration features. This problem is reproducible
with just the plain qemux86 machine and the core-image-minimal image.
Also, before my latest tests I pulled
the latest git repo.

To reproduce this problem:

- use the latest git repositories
- run "source poky/oe-init-build-env qemux86"
- make no modifications to conf/bblayers.conf
- make no changes to conf/local.conf
- run "bitbake core-image-minimal"

After that completes successfully add the following line to your
conf/local.conf:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " trace-cmd"

- re-run the build "bitbake core-image-minimal"

This should complete successfully. When it does, modify the last line
of conf/local.conf to be:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " trace-cmd bash"

- try re-running the build now "bitbake core-image-minimal". It fails
for me as I have detailed in my previous emails.

If I manually do:

$ bitbake bash
$ bitbake core-image-minimal

everything succeeds and my image contains 'bash'. But something tells
me there's a bug in there somewhere.
