I encountered this same issue and was able to track it down. The
problem is that u-boot is building pylibfdt using the host Python
instead of using python-native provided by bitbake. pylibfdt is a non-
optional dependency for several u-boot configurations, in my case qemu-
x86 and qemu-x84_64.

I pushed a patch to the mailing list that I think fixes this: http://li
