I've had trouble in the past with autoconf detecting software installed 
on the build machine and using those paths for the OE build. This was 
caused by bad m4 macros that OE could not account for. I fixed the 
autoconf and solved the problem. Read the logs of the failed package and 
see if it is using headers from the machine you are building on.
