  i'm going to be testing all of the above again shortly from scratch
to make sure it wasn't something silly i did.  but if someone wants to
see if they can reproduce it, all i did was a standard configure using
meta-ti layer for a beaglebone and i built a core-image-minimal.

  after that worked, i added the following line to local.conf:

IMAGE_CLASSES += "sdcard_image"

and that caused the very same build to fail.  can anyone else confirm
that?  i'll be digging into this as soon as i get back from coffee.
