i am not good enougth to dig in system to see where the problem is...
think at this point its the end of build host on sparc for me. have
several other machines which may also compile a OE system. i want to use
the sparc machine because i thought i would be the same debian
installation as on my x86_64 machine and this machine i can let run the
whole night long... if anyone is interested supporting this build
platform i would do some testing. libtool was not even installed first
time i did bitbake, so this may not be the problem of compilation
error. 

do i need to reconfigure anything if i install addidional packages on
build host?
