[OE-core] multilib support on Jethro: populate_sdk help

[Nemicolopterus Crypticus]

Added: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10054


Please let me know if I can try anything else or provide more info.

In the meantime, I'm going to try to disable multilib, and only build the
ARMv7 version of the SDK.
