[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] build.py: Provide useful diagnostics when exiting.

[Mark Hatle]

From: Peter Seebach <peter.seebach at windriver.com>

Running scripts with 'set -e' produces silent failures with no
diagnostic. Add an exit handler which produces diagnostics, including
details of what was running if the shell seems to be bash.
