[yocto] Creating a recipe to create /usr/local

[Chan Kit Yu]

Not sure if you wanna read through the log file. I was initially
dumbfounded but reading through the log I think I found the issue.
Here's the main error (I think) that could have caused the failure.
(my package name is "folder"):

ERROR: folder not found in the base feeds (valleyisland_64
corei7-64-intel-common corei7-64 core2-64 x86_64 noarch any all).

I also attached the error log so feel free to parse it if you feel like it.

Thanks,
Chan Kit
