Gary,

We don't use -c populate_sdk to produce SDKs. Instead, we still rely on the 
old meta-toolchain mechanism. First, because it can be incorporated into other 
recipes - i.e. we have a recipe that combines rootfs and SDK into one tarball. 
Second, it provides more control to what get's packaged into SDK. Third, it 
doesn't have this undefined magic to packaging stuff - i.e. this post is an 
example of it failing. And only one slight drawback - requires keeping rootfs 
image recipe in sync with meta-toolchain SDK recipe...

Why?
