FYI this is a bug I was meant to be fixing in the 1.6 cycle (I noticed the 
error in one of my builds a few months ago). Simply adding e2fsprogs to 
DEPENDS adds time to the build, plus when I submitted a patch to do this I 
found that nativesdk-e2fsprogs doesn't actually build at the moment and since 
it's actually only the header it wants, I had in mind to just use the header 
from e2fsprogs-native. I haven't got around to testing the latter solution 
though.

Anyway, I've now done what I should have done earlier and filed a bug:


Cheers,
Paul
