Issue in building Kernel Image from yocto

[abhijit_thorat]

Hi,

I am using T2080QDS for my project and using yocto to build kernel image.

I want to customize Linux kernel. So I follow steps from document QorIQ-SDK-2.0-IC-Rev0.pdf topic 3.3.2 Customize Linux Kernel

I run command bitbake -c cleansstate virtual/kernel to clear cache 

and bitbake -c patch virtual/kernel to download source code

When I run command bitbake -c compile -f virtual/kernel to compile kernel I always get following error

ERROR: Function failed: do_configure (log file is located at /home/abhijit/yocto/install/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/build_t2080qds-64b/tmp/work/t2080qds_64b-fsl-linux/linux-qoriq/4.1-r0/temp/log.do_configure.23196)

Is there any way to resolve this issue?
