Which version of the poky are you using?

There was a change to stop relying on the host to provide an SDL
implementation and instead we build sdl-native, this change is
available in the krogoth release (2.1) and has been backported to
jethro (available in 2.0.2) and fido (available in 1.8.2).

However if you have an old local.conf you'll need to remove the
ASSUME_PROVIDED entry for sdl-native.
