I'm reminded of this commit:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=2b8a68001ada2885f15ca68aa7c94cc92bb36973

Did you try a "bitbake -ccleansstate virtual/kernel"?

I'm wondering if stale sstate files for the kernel are affecting the
build somehow? Are you using a custom do_install/copy of kernel.bbclass
or anything like that?

Cheers,
