  I doubt that it's due to that easy change. I suspect your earlier
commits, 2c516898480b1bc053c9cbf6da853a016059c4c6 &
286930242424d10b2503eb290dbc31c7975bab74 are to blame.

  Either way, I get here:

$bitbake angstrom-x11-image

    The same was report by at least 3 other people, including using
other distro than Angstrom.
