Is anybody able to actually BUILD the Angstrom release?

Again: once I get to invoking the "bitbake" command, the only variables
I care about are BBPATH, CACHE, and BBFILES.

Indeed, I just UNSET ALL THE OTHER VARIABLES, and I have the same
problem.

The values of BBPATH, CACHE, and BBFILES are fully expanded in the
environment, to whit:

echo "$BBPATH"; echo "$CACHE";echo "$BBFILES"
/space/OpenEmbedded/build:/space/OpenEmbedded/openembedded
/space/OpenEmbedded/cache
/space/OpenEmbedded/openembedded/packages/*/*.bb

OK, let's cut to the chase: from a fresh command prompt:
Yddhagood at sage:..OpenEmbedded/build> export
BBPATH="/space/OpenEmbedded/build:pace/OpenEmbedded/openembedded"
ddhagood at sage:..OpenEmbedded/build> export
CACHE="/space/OpenEmbedded/cache"
ddhagood at sage:..OpenEmbedded/build> export
BBFILES="/space/OpenEmbedded/openembedded/packages/*/*.bb

ddhagood at sage:..OpenEmbedded/build> export PATH=
$PATH:/space/bitbake-1.8.12/bin/
ddhagood at sage:..OpenEmbedded/build> bitbake task-base

OK, so I HAVE NOT SET ANY OTHER VARIABLES OTHER THAN WHAT THE WIKI SAID.
