still unable to "bitbake e2fsprogs"

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>]

  to this day, i still can't build e2fsprogs from the dev branch, and
i'm absolutely baffled.  this is on a fully-updated fedora 12 system,
and i'm sure philip balister can do this on his f12 system, so i'm at
a loss.  any advice would be appreciated.

  just as a refresher, the salient excerpt from the log file is:
