I had the same problems the other day. SYSROOT_DESTDIR was empty and so OE was 
trying to work on the files that were already in place. (which fails due to 
permission probs.)

Sadly, I'm too new to all this. So I don't.

As a work around you can delete the existing toolchain installed at 
/usr/local/angstrom/..... The build finishes, but I don't know what the 
fallout is..  

(I did notice that a note that said this recipe uses legacy staging, but I'm 
not really sure what that means. Could that be something?)
