I had an issue recently where opkg was prompting the user to overwrite
a file in the rootfs phase.  I would ctrl-C bitbake when it appeared
to be hung, but soon learned there were additional bitbake processes
still running.  When I ran killall bitbake, the error message showed
up.  You might find something by running bitbake with -DDDD.
