[yocto] Python do_install fails on QEMUX86-64 and corei7-64 under Debian 8.0.3 isolated station

[Ronald Oakes]

I'm hand-transcribing the error (which still exists after recopying
the source files into build/downloads):

--

if test $? -ne 0; then \
     echo "generate-posix-vars failed" ; \
     rm -f ./pybuilddir.txt ; \
     exit 1 ; \
fi
Illegal instruction
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 132
WARNING: exit code 1 from a shell command.
ERROR: oe_runmake failed
ERROR: Function failed: do_install (log file is located at
/home/ron/yocto/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/python/2.7.9-r1/temp/log.do_install.10995)

The log above this shows no errors, but there are some warnings.
