[yocto] Problems building yocto for Xilinx ML507 (with some tentative fixes)

[Andrea Sterbini]

Not yet.
I haven't been able to complete the complete run

     bitbake core-image-minimal

I moved to the meta-xilinx master branch
I am able to complete almost 1600 tasks of 1666 by doing (after the 
git.xilinx.com -> github.com/Xilinx fixes)

     bitbake core-image-minimal -k

The error I get is
