Thanks, I applied it and the result was:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/48/builds/4383/steps/15/logs/stdio

which suggests buildtools isn't working quite right. What is odd is
that if I ssh in and run that bitbake-selftest command on the same
build directory, it works and doesn't show the error. I'm not quite
sure what is going on here...

Cheers,
