For Yocto, which bitbake is the heart of it, you can use either this community or a distribution list, where the latter one is for Yocto issues only. Some people post first in the community and if nothing comes out, they ask the same question on the list.
Regarding your issue, you may have found the issue mentioned on the reference manual
2.3.5. Development Host System Issues
Sometimes issues on the host development system can cause your build to fail. Following are known, host-specific problems. Be sure to always consult the Release Notes for a look at all release-related issues.
eglibc-initial fails to build: If your development host system has the unpatched GNU Make 3.82, thedo_install task fails for eglibc-initial during the build.Typically, every distribution that ships GNU Make 3.82 as the default already has the patched version. However, some distributions, such as Debian, have GNU Make 3.82 as an option, which is unpatched. You will see this error on these types of distributions. Switch to GNU Make 3.81 or patch your make to solve the problem.
Also, when some building issue is found, you can try cleaning all binaries already created (bitbake -c cleansstate package) for that particular package and then try again. Sometimes this trick fixes the issue ...
