From: Matthias Schiffer <matthias.schiffer at ew.tq-group.com>

Until recent versions of findutils, -ignore_readdir_race did not work
correctly with -delete. This led to spurious build failures when files
disappeared; specifically this was seen due to do_configure and
do_populate_lic running concurrently for packages with ${B} == ${WORKDIR}:

   find: '.../sstate-build-populate_lic': No such file or directory

As the find command of the host system is used here, we can't ensure that
the used version contains the fix. Work around the issue by passing the
output of find to 'rm -f' instead of using -delete.

It would be great if this patch could be backported to all versions back to
Rocko, as our current setup is still based on Rocko.
