Sorry for the delay - I have a fix for this that I'll send out soon (basically 
drop setting SDK_RDEPENDS in populate_sdk_ext.bbclass). I'm not sure what 
happened recently to cause this to come up, but the dependency is erroneous 
and it appears SDK_REPENDS doesn't need to be set anyway.

Cheers,
Paul
