[oe] Random problems with building locales

[David Lambert]

I am getting apparent random failures when attempting to build 
OpenEmbedded with bitbake 1.10.0.  It seems that localedef is randomly 
failing as shown below. The first time it failed compiling UTF-8 es_NI, 
the second UTF-8 gv_GB, third UTF-8 es_NI again, and finally UTF-8 xh_ZA.
Initially I suspected a problem with my machine, but I ran diagnostics 
overnight with no failures. Has anyone else experienced this type of 
failure? Could you help guide me where else to look?


Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Dave.
