[yocto] Morty 2.2.1 build failure

[Greg Wilson-Lindberg]

Hi Armin & Paul,

First there is nothing in the X log files.
I'm building on a desktop machine with 12GB of memory and an 8 core processor running Kubuntu 14.04.
I added the PARALLEL_MAKE parameter set to 4, no effect, still built with 8 threads, crashed.
Set BB_NUMBER_THREADS to 4, built with 4 threads, still crashed.

Regards,
Greg
