Thanks.  FAOD, here's my build setup:
   OE Build Configuration:
   BB_VERSION        = "1.11.0"
   METADATA_BRANCH   = "local_master"
   METADATA_REVISION = "db9b8bc9a34f3f486d6ce948a073a1f042d9dbb7"
   TARGET_ARCH       = "i586"
   TARGET_OS         = "linux"
   MACHINE           = "atom-pc"
   DISTRO            = "poky"
   DISTRO_VERSION    = "0.9+snapshot-20110126"
   TARGET_FPU        = ""

Host CPU = Fedora-13/x86
Building poky-image-sato-live.
