You are recommended to try building one of the existing distros first
(e.g. Angstrom) because ...

... distro building is complicated and because there are complex
coherences between the packages. This is not something that OE invented
but what is every distribution maker/packager faces.

Eg. if you are trying to build a kernel 2.4 system with a linuxthreads
glibc 2.7 and Xorg 7.x you are likely to have issues since no one else
on this planet tried that. The latter is different for existing OE-based
distributions ... :)

Please provide more information about your build configuration etc.
