Getting started - failing to do_populate_staging of flex-native-2.5.31

[Douglas Royds]

In oe_libinstall() for flex-native, bb fails to find the required .lai 
file, and consequently executes a "cd" with no parameter. When it tries 
to install libfl.a, it doesn't find it, because it's in the wrong 
working directory. libfl.a does exist:

Any ideas?
