Hi Ismael,

Archlinux currently has texinfo5 in it's core repo which breaks a 
significant amount of packages. I would suggest downgrading to 
textinfo4.x (can't remember the exact version) and then things should at 
least start to get going again. I'm afraid however if you insist on 
using a rolling release distro you are going to hit these problems more 
often than most, if you want a stable build environment then I would 
suggest using a sanity tested distro. If you do with to persist with 
Archlinux I suggest you follow oe-core/yocto master and update regulary.

Cheers,
Jack.
