[oe-users] Problem generating uImage for gumstix

[Philip Balister]

I can confirm this is a problem building Angstrom for a gumstix with a 
clean tmp directory. I think the problem is that the kernel build needs 
mkiamge from u-boot, but the gumstix machine does not build u-boot. I 
tried building u-bbot for the gumstix, but u-boot contains no config for 
the hardware. Then I tried building uboot-utils and that failed trying 
to unpack :

org.openembedded.dev/packages/uboot/files/fw_env.config': No such file 
or directory

Any thoughts?
