Hi, I haven't generated a poky-tiny image with wic before, but those undefined error messages do seem vaguely familiar to me, and I seem to remember working around them but I can't remember the details. Can you send me the the relevant info to try a build myself, and also the wic command you're using (and the one that fails)?
