I haven't built an image with gcc6 as the compiler yet, but I did
check out your branch to try building with gcc 6 as the host compiler
(Fedora 24). I needed a few more fixes, available at
http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=dankm/gcc-6.
I fixed lzop, pkgconfig, and disabled werror on binutils.
core-image-minimal appears to be well on its way to building.
