[yocto] Problem building glibc-locale

[Andras Tantos]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build glibc-locale (actually I'm trying to build 
core-image-base, but that fails building glibc-locale) and encountering 
the following error:

    WARNING: Host distribution "Ubuntu-16.04" has not been validated
    with this version of the build system; you may possibly experience
    unexpected failures. It is recommended that you use a tested
    distribution.

The problem seems to be related to trying to include usbhost in 
DISTRO_FEATURES.

The minimal repro seems to be this script:

    #!/bin/bash
    BRANCH=krogoth
    #BRANCH=jethro

    function error_exit
    {
         echo "$1" 1>&2
         exit 1
    }

    mkdir $BRANCH || error_exit "can't create directory: $BANCH"
    cd $BRANCH || error_exit "can't CD to directory: $BANCH"
    BASE=$PWD

    echo setting up branch: $BRANCH
    echo ====================================================
    echo
    echo STEP 1: cloning repositories
    echo ----------------------------------------------------
    git clone -b $BRANCH git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git ||
    error_exit "Can't clone main repo"

    echo
    echo STEP 2: creating default config
    echo ----------------------------------------------------
    source poky/oe-init-build-env ./build

    echo
    echo STEP 3: customizing configuration
    echo ----------------------------------------------------

    echo "###########################################" >> conf/local.conf
    echo "###########################################" >> conf/local.conf
    echo "# LOCAL CHANGES" >> conf/local.conf
    echo "###########################################" >> conf/local.conf
    echo "###########################################" >> conf/local.conf
    echo "###########################################" >> conf/local.conf
    echo "DISTRO_FEATURES += \"usbhost\"" >> conf/local.conf

    echo
    echo STEP 3: building
    echo ----------------------------------------------------
    bitbake glibc-locale


I've seen other people report this problem but no solution, for example 
here: https://www.mail-archive.com/yocto@yoctoproject.org/msg32378.html 
and here: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41937565/yocto-glibc-locale-do-package-installed-but-not-shipped-in-any-package.

Can you please help me fix the problem?

Thanks,
