I am attempting to build Android 2-6.29 for Gumstix Overo.  I have so
far attempted to follow the procedure written by Elvis Dowson at
http://web.mac.com/elvis.dowson/Download/Android/Android.html

In trying to reproduce Elvis' results, I am encountering a circular
dependency error in bitbake when trying to build the kernel.  To wit:

$ bitbake linux-omap3
Parsing .bb files, please wait...done.
Parsing of 8112 .bb files complete (7797 cached, 315 parsed). 7907
targets, 316 skipped, 2 masked, 0 errors.
NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies
ERROR: Unbuildable tasks were found.
These are usually caused by circular dependencies and any circular
dependency chains found will be printed below. Increase the debug
level to see a list of unbuildable tasks.

Identifying dependency loops (this may take a short while)...

FATAL:
Dependency loop #1 found:
  Task 12 (/home/swagner/android/tool/overo-oe/user.collection/recipes/
linux/linux-omap3_2.6.29.bb, do_deploy) (dependent Tasks ['fakeroot-
native, do_populate_staging', 'linux-omap3, do_package'])
  Task 19 (/home/swagner/android/tool/overo-oe/user.collection/recipes/
linux/linux-omap3_2.6.29.bb, do_devicetree_image) (dependent Tasks
['linux-omap3, do_deploy'])
  Task 15 (/home/swagner/android/tool/overo-oe/user.collection/recipes/
linux/linux-omap3_2.6.29.bb, do_package) (dependent Tasks ['gcc-cross,
do_package', 'linux-omap3, do_install', 'update-modules, do_package',
'desktop-file-utils-native, do_populate_staging', 'shasum-native.bb,
do_package', 'glibc, do_package', 'file, do_populate_staging', 'linux-
omap3, do_devicetree_image', 'coreutils-native, do_package', 'u-boot-
mkimage-openmoko-native, do_package', 'module-init-tools-cross,
do_package', 'pax-utils-native, do_populate_staging'])


While I am familiar with Linux kernel builds using traditional GNU
make, I am new to bitbake.  My best effort here was to reduce the
complexity of the problem by building just the linux-omap3 recipe,
instead of the entire omap3-android-2.6.29-image recipe.  Does anyone
have any insights, suggestions, or comments which would help me to get
past this issue?

Thanks!
