Using the tarballs for Poky and meta-intel for 1.2_M2-Final, I was getting a lot of build failures below is what worked and what didn't. Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something. I extracted the meta-intel tarball for 1.2_M2-Final in the poky directory created by extracting the poky tarball for 1.2_M2.Final.
