menuconfig works with a core-image-minimal vanilla build:
*Build Configuration:BB_VERSION = "1.24.0"BUILD_SYS =
"x86_64-linux"NATIVELSBSTRING = "Ubuntu-14.04"TARGET_SYS =
"arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"MACHINE = "qemuarm"DISTRO =
"poky"DISTRO_VERSION = "1.7"TUNE_FEATURES = "arm armv5 thumb
dsp"TARGET_FPU = "soft"meta meta-yocto
meta-yocto-bsp =
"master:45bb9e3323073070453647a32289dc1792f3d660"meta-oe
meta-multimedia meta-gnome =
"master:dac2422f737c351c37a8405a76b5f0b5df9311a0"*
So this must be an issue with my custom machine.
