[yocto] Maintenance on older branches, e.g. bernard

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
       I just noticed that if one were to try switching to an older poky branch, say bernard, there are a few errors:

e.g. meta-yocto layer doesn't have a conf folder. 

Also if you use one of the tags, e.g. bernard-5.0, bernard-5.0.1, bernard-5.0.2, you can run into build failures.

I think at the very least, one should be able to build successfully off one of the older branches, and perhaps it should be part of the regular regression tests?

I'm just going to try to revert to bernard branch, temporarily, to see if my root filesystem dynamic linker issues for my powerpc440 target goes away with gcc-4.5.1.

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
