[yocto] bitbake error

[Gary Thomas]

When trying to build using latest Poky/Yocto master (7b86c771c80d0759c2ca0e57c46c4c966f89c49e)
I'm getting this error:

=================================================================================================

Sadly, I don't see enough info in this error trace to really tell me
what file/directory is missing (i.e. what the real problem is)

I tried 'bitbake quilt-native -c cleanstate', but the problem persists.
Note that this is a build in a older tree, one which I've been using successfully
(as you can tell) since late 2014.

Interestingly, I can build using the same meta-data on a different build
box!

I get the same error when using a totally fresh tree, so I'm really
perplexed by this one...
