Sadly, this still fails for me, but only when I'm using SSTATE_MIRRORS
from a build of a few days ago.  If I don't use the SSTATE_MIRRORS, it
builds fine.

Once I get into this state, I can't even clean my way out of this :-(

   $ bitbake gettext-native -c clean
   Pseudo is not present but is required, building this first before the main build

Why is it running the do_compile step, when I explicitly asked for do_clean?

Looking closer, it seems that the git-native I built yesterday (which is what I was using for SSTATE_MIRRORS)
doesn't work correctly.  One built today, on the exact same host (no changes), etc, does.  Very strange.

Here's yesterday's build:

How can this be?  Doesn't the sstate signature imply they should be identical?

Note: I'll keep these trees around in case there's something else you'd like to see.
