It looks like the following oe-core commit broke the build for
meta-raspberrypi:

http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=83d10e2acef936b1f38804988f10eafa48db36f9

Applying the following patch from the oe-core mailing list fixes it for
me:

http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-December/129567.html

I'm just going to apply that locally until it's merged into master.

Thanks,
