[oe] ...gcc/specs: Invalid argument when building meta-sdk or meta-toolchain for i586 on x86_64

[Christopher Lang]

While testing bb 1.8 I ran into the following issue. I do not think it is bb 
1.8 related, it might rather be an issue with building on x86_64:
 
When building meta-sdk or meta-toolchain to following error occurs:

xgcc: /home/chris/tmp/oe-test-linux-bb18/build/tmp/work/x86_64-oe-linux/gcc-cross-sdk-4.1.1-r10/gcc-4.1.1/build.x86_64-linux.i586-oe-linux/./gcc/specs: 
Invalid argument
| make[2]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1

I think that sdk and toolchain are quite important for OE. So any help is 
appreciated!

many thanks
