Ah ha! poky contains a copy of oe-core, so you don't need both, for a given version the meta/ directories will be identical (poky is the union of oe-core, bitbake, and meta-yocto). I'd forgotten that meta-oe used to have guile in. Presumably the problem here is that autogen-native wants guile-native and it finds guile-native_1.8.7 before realising that guile_2.0.7 can also do a native build (that's what BBCLASSEXTEND=native does). Try using BBMASK to hide the guile in meta-oe. Add this to your local.conf: BBMASK = "meta-oe/recipes-support/guile" > So let me see if I understand the problem.

The root cause is normally needing to build grub. grub needs autogen-native which needs guile-native, as it uses guile. We don't assume guile exists on the host, so will always build it ourselves. Normally guile_2.0.6.bb can do both cross and native builds. It appears that meta-oe has an older version of guile with an explicit guile-native name, which is selected before the newer version in oe-core. This is the root of the problem, and the BBMASK should cause it to ignore that recipe. I've just submitted a patch to remove this guile from meta-oe, as it's just causing trouble.
