the python code in
/home/grzesiek/tele/openembedded/recipes/tasks/task-shr-minimal.bb 

depends upon a metadata variable called LIBC and this is not set in your
distro file. This could be one of 'glibc|eglibc|uclibc" depending upon
what system library you want. In your case it seems to be glibc

So if you set 

LIBC = "glibc" in your distro file then it should work.
