FATAL: oe_runmake failed

The likely cause is the command
cd blt && tar cf - .

The "cd" command is outputting the new CWD to stdout, and that is confusing the
second tar. Now, *IF* I can find where this lives, I will change it to
cd blt &>/dev/null && tar cf - .

This is a systemic error: In many cases within the Bitbake process it is
assumed that a "cd" will output NOTHING to stdout, and this is NOT true.
