Hey rmm200,
Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up switching back to the EPEL version of Python (2.6.8), which 'import grp' worked on and I began running bitbake where I left off. A bit crude, I know (as I'm pretty sure bitbake failed to start the first time I ran with the EPEL version of Python), but it began compiling again until I hit the next error.
Seems that the grub-efi package is not happy now, I've never seen a 'gcc failed to produce assembly code' error:
...
checking for command to convert module to ELF format...
checking whether `gcc' generates calls to `__enable_execute_stack()'... no
checking whether `gcc' has `-fPIE' as default... no
checking whether `gcc' has `-fPIC' as default... no
checking whether `gcc' accepts `-fstack-protector'... yes
checking whether `gcc' accepts `-mstack-arg-probe'... yes
checking if C symbols get an underscore after compilation... configure: error: gcc failed to produce assembly code
Configure failed. The contents of all config.log files follows to aid debugging
ERROR: oe_runconf failed
ERROR: Function failed: do_configure (see /home/mjstanis/meta-clanton_v0.7.5/yocto_build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/grub-efi-i586-native/2.00-r2/temp/log.do_configure.22625 for further information)
Thoughts? I'm almost there :-)
Thanks!
Matt
