I suspect:

http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=91c0b3a2e6d006224d8d2b661ca7528e9d036f1b

which would at least make the error clearer...

Yes, I know I need to get that back to bitbake upstream but note we're
talking about fixes found in the past 24 hours and I've only just seen
an all green build from the autobuilder after hearing rumours about
build failures from recent changes.

Cheers,

Richard

PS: Could we fix this list's addresses, it has the same problem the tsc
list had.
