If you are using poky-danny as a base, you need to use "danny"
branch of meta-ti to match the versions.
  i ordered that very AM3517 exp kit this morning and, while it's
in transit, i'm building a core-image-minimal for it. should i expect
success if i use the absolute latest "git pull"s of everything?

  i'm aware of the recipe masking issue and the mesa-dri version thing
so i won't trip over that. so far, the "fetchall" worked and i'm
currently on "running tasks (191 of 1591)" of the build itself.

  is there any reason to think this shouldn't finish? thanks.

So the build finished and I loaded the files onto my SD card.  MLO, u-boot.img, and uImage onto the first partition.  I untarred the root file system onto the second partition.  This is the result on the serial console:
