It looks like the SSTATE_DIR cannot be created for some reason... Maybe the disk is full. Here's the error: ### Shell environment set up for builds. ### You can now run 'bitbake <target>' Common targets are: core-image-minimal core-image-sato meta-toolchain meta-toolchain-sdk adt-installer meta-ide-support You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86' WARNING: Host distribution "Debian-6.0.7" has not been validated with this version of the build system; you may possibly experience unexpected failures.

this seems to be fixed now. My guess is that it was a disk full issue.
