Thanks, I was hoping it was something as simple as that. Another (possibly related) question - when the kernel built I noticed that linux_libc_headers_yocto-2.6.37 was 'mentioned' in the log output. Why was this used and not the headers for 3.0.18 ? The host is 2.6.32, so it doesn't look like is was for the tool chain.
