In the -DDD output I see

"DEBUG: Using cache in '/home/platform/Workspace/somename/poky/build/tmp/cache/default-eglibc/sonic/i686'"

If I rename /home/platform/Workspace/somename/poky/build/tmp/cache/default-eglibc/sonic/i686 to
/home/platform/Workspace/somename/poky/build/tmp/cache/default-eglibc/sonic/i686-saved and then run

bitbake <packagegroup>, the .bb file is reparsed

If I rename the directory back, then 

bitbake <packagegroup> goes back to doing nothing

Something stands out here... 

My build machine is x86_64 but my SDKMACHINE is i686. And I see that the directory name
above includes i686.

Might there be something to this?
