[oe] Unable to build python-pyqt

[Gary Thomas]

I'm trying to build python-pyqt using the latest meta-openembedded
alongside Poky/Yocto distribution.  It's failing with a slew of errors:

This is using the meta-oe/recipes-devtools/python/python-pyqt_4.9.5.bb
Poky/Yocto master 1fd9a16d2

I assume that this package built at the time of the last patch:
   commit 00fe75fb5773cf5602a20a50ed299ed287dd6ebd
   Author: Martin Jansa <Martin.Jansa at gmail.com>
   Date:   Thu Oct 25 00:25:53 2012 +0200

     python-pyqt: don't bypass sstate with sip files

     * discovered with http://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/38521/

     Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa <Martin.Jansa at gmail.com>

What might I be doing wrong that's breaking the build?

Thanks in advance for any help getting this going :-)
