sanity test failure at the end of build

[Valentin Longchamp <valentin.longchamp@epfl.ch>]

Hello,

I have seen various people that have experienced the same problem during the 
last months, but I have never read a clear answer or fix to what is wrong with 
this issue.

OE builds just fine all the needed packages for my system, but in the I get a 
failed sanity check for various libraries. Here is the log for a console-image 
for instance:

I had read that this could have something to do with the fact that -tmp was in 
the name of the tmp build dir. However it is not the case for me and the 
problem is still here. Here is my local.conf file:

Thank you for your help, that would be really nice to fix this, because I am 
not able to build rootfs images at this point because of this problem.
