[yocto] SDK and out of tree modules

[RUSSELL PETERSON]

I am running Poky Rocko at the HEAD (just updated yesterday) and see the following when I attempt to build the eSDK:

sstate-control/manifest-allarch-kernel-devsrc.populate_sysroot not found?

I see this has been an issue with others as well.  It looks like Paul had a fix around April but then the trail went silent so I'm not sure if there was a fix or if that fix went into Rocko.  Anyone?

To get this to work we always need to run “make silentoldconfig scripts” inside the RFS of the SDK on the build host.  Many folks forget to do this this and thus many, many questions come my way about the SDK being broken and they can’t build their modules (not all users are kernel experts or even intermediates… they just want to apply a patch and quickly move on to their app).  Is there a way to do this auto-magically during the installation of the SDK by adding some type of scripts etc… to the recipe?  I assume it needs to be done at install time since while the build host is x86… the exact linux distro is not known until then (or does that matter?).
