[OE-core] Weird license_create_manifest failures in sumo

[Mike Looijmans]

I'm migrating to "sumo" from rocko, and when building for multiple machines on 
the build server, I get failures like the one below.

I'm suspecting this is a resurrection of the MACHINE/allarch problems that 
i've seen in the past, but this time I cannot work around them since they 
concern "base" packages.

I did not see this in the rocko branch with the same configuration.

I already tried cleaning out the "tmp" folder and restarting.




Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION           = "1.38.0"
