Thanks, I think you got that one but the /bin/awk issue remained after
your changes. Its easy to reproduce with "bitbake core-image-sato-sdk", 
or IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " kernel-devsrc". I ended up with this change
to fix it:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?h=master-next&id=a28acfa6c5890df4f5cb09962ef0c53837ac3b37

which I appreciate you won't like but it illustrates the problem. Any
preference on what to do with that patch?

We do also have a boot test issue on mips64:

https://autobuilder.yocto.io/builders/nightly-mips64/builds/423/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests/logs/stdio

and mips:

https://autobuilder.yocto.io/builders/nightly-mips/builds/425/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests/logs/stdio

I assume we just have to whitelist that error message?

Cheers,

Richard
