For the record, this is caused by setting the TOPDIR env variable
manually, and white listing TOPDIR for bitbake.  I modified the
recipes to clear this variable:

It would be really nice to be able to rename TOPDIR in bitbake to
something like BB_TOPDIR, so we don't run into this problem.  Perhaps
it is not necessary to whitelist TOPDIR to get BB to use it -- guess I
need to try that as well.

Thanks,
Cliff
