The first error is that bitbake sanity checks fail to detect the network access, while my network connectivity is perfect, and downloading packages seem to work if I disable this checks. Full log: http://pastebin.com/6jJCC1qp. I couldn't find any log that told me which piece of code was failing, so I jut disabled this check on ../meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky.conf

First off, I want to build a single mission appliance, I don't really want to build any documentation, is there any way I can disable it? Anyway, this is the build log: http://pastebin.com/n9U4GfjG. Looks like there are some texinfo commands my machine (texinfo 5.0) doesn't recognice. According to http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15183, it's a known bug on binuilts-2.22 and it's fixed on binuilts-2.23.

Archlinux version you might be using may not be one of sanitized distro for building danny
you could have upgrades to components that are pre-requisites for building binutils cross

if you can try to use one of sanitized distros on your build host that way you can avoid some
of these issues.

thats invasive change for danny to back port. May be you can try latest master and upcoming
release 1.4 if you can afford that
