[poky] Broken dependency behavior in master?

[Scott Garman]

Hi Paul,

Beth pointed me to a failure occurring on the autobuilder when building 
docbook-sgml-dtd-3.1-native using the latest master:

http://autobuilder.pokylinux.org:8010/builders/nightly-external/builds/88/steps/shell_3/logs/stdio

I am able to reproduce it on my development system. The problem occurs 
because sgml-common-native is not being fully built before 
docbook-sgml-dtd-3.1-native, even though it is listed in DEPENDS. I see 
log files only up to the do_configure step for sgml-common-native.

This makes me think something could be seriously broken in master when 
it comes to handling build dependencies.

I've verified that sgml-common-native is showing up as a build 
dependency properly in the dependency explorer.

...ok, looking at the recent commits in master, this one raised my 
suspicion:

http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=b4268c08c350a7928a0b1a041b04ffe5a44e77b4

I just tried reverting that and doing a new build, and the build 
completed successfully. Could you take a closer look at it?

Thanks,

Scott
