Ok, I have managed to get a bit further on this. I didn't realise that I 
had to do

bitbake -c clean hiawatha

Everytime I had changed the package to ensure that it was building with 
the new configuration. My new .bb looks like this:

DESCRIPTION = "Lightweight secure web server"
HOMEPAGE = "http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org"
LICENSE = "GPLv2"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=a9b0a0eb7c54c87ec6ac05f5f603df6a"
DEPENDS = "openssl libxml2 libxslt"
SECTION = "custom"

PR = "r0"

SRC_URI = "http://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/files/hiawatha-7.8.2.tar.gz"
SRC_URI[md5sum] = "8aff3f8c759871ea1d1ff22e98030332"

inherit autotools

EXTRA_OEMAKE = "'CC=${CC}' 'CFLAGS=${CFLAGS} -I${S}/include 
-DWITHOUT_XATTR' \
                      'BUILDDIR=${S}'"

EXTRA_OECONF = " --disable-ipv6 \
              --disable-ssl \
              --disable-toolkit \
              --disable-xslt \
              --disable-largefile \
              --mandir=${mandir}"

do_configure() {

   oe_runconf

}

do_compile() {

   oe_runmake

}

do_install() {

   oe_runmake install DESTDIR=${D} SBINDIR=${sbindir} 
INCLUDEDIR=${includedir}


Now, this is building and installing however the Hiawatha binary doesn't 
get included in the build. The configuration files make it in so I know 
it's running the make install phase however I don't know how to find out 
what is going on during the build and why the binary isn't making it in 
the rootfs.
