I'm experiencing some shr build problems too, but do not know if these
are related or were born from my changes or my gentoo unstable build
host.
For example, in /etc/init.d/ rcS is missing (it should belong to
sysvinit package), and the kernel is not installed in /boot, nor
modules in /lib, but the last may be as I changed the preferred
provider to linux-openmoko to try 2.6.30.1.

P.s. at first try I used the master branch of bitbake but had problems
building qt 4.5.2 (too many loop links), after I switched to 1.8
branch and the build was fine, is the 1.8 branch the right one?
