Thanks! I poked a bit more at that underlying RDEPENDS problem as it
bothers me. Once I fixed the dependency loop detection code in bitbake,
the real errors became clear and once two of them were fixed, things
started working more as they should.

I've put together a patchset and thrown it at the autobuilder, see what
it makes of it.

I'll either merge your patch with or without the hack depending on how
that goes...

Cheers,

Richard
