Hi Andrew,
Yes, it's a bug, and it was fixed at revision 2609 in base tool trunk.

Subject: [edk2-buildtools] Bug introduced with latest build tools sync. Empty
FV causes infinite Processing meta-data
I just synced my BaseTools package with the TOT and my build got stuck in an
infinite loop.

Processing meta-data
.............................................................................................
I tracked it down to an empty FV. This worked fine in prior versions. Adding an
empty FV to any *.FDF should reproduce the failure. I noticed the logic around
parsing FV settings changed, so I assume this change introduced the bug?

Thanks,

PS I was working on a project and one of the FVs was a place holder as it
currently had its INF files commented out. I did not see this crash until I
synced my BaseTools with TOT edk2.
