Just to work out how this happened, did you interrupt the build previously 
(e.g. with Ctrl+C) ?

In any event you should be able to run the following to clear the issue and 
then re-run your build command:

bitbake -c clean quilt-native gnu-config-native

Richard, do we plan to add some kind of mitigation for this? I thought I'd 
filed a bug already but I can't seem to find it.

Cheers,
Paul
