core-image-minimal works with my configuration on qemuarm. It also successfully
builds what will soon be released as opkg-0.2.3 and the recipe for toybox-0.4.9
which I've recently created.

I tried building core-image-full-cmdline as I think that would be good next step
from core-image-minimal. I'm seeing failures in:

  meta/recipes-devtools/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs_1.42.9.bb, do_compile
  meta/recipes-extended/tcp-wrappers/tcp-wrappers_7.6.bb, do_compile

  meta/recipes-extended/sudo/sudo_1.8.10p3.bb, do_compile
  meta/recipes-extended/mc/mc_4.8.12.bb, do_compile

I can share detailed logs if anyone wants them. I'll have a look and see if I
can find some low hanging fruit amongst these which are easy to fix. 

Thanks,
