The problem is that openmoko wiki gave wrong way for people.

*If you have all stuff built* - otherwise you should clean task-base and
then build it again.

It is a way - bad way.

The way is not proper - user should NOT touch DISTRO_* or MACHINE_*
variables. If you want to add software into image you should create new
image recipe (based on openmoko-devel-image for example) and use it.
And "bitbake -crebuild task-base" rebuilds ONLY task-base. It does not
build any software which task-base depends on because it is not a job
for "rebuild" task.

Yes - create own image recipe and there list software which you want to
have in image. Or install openmoko-devel-image on phone and then use
feeds and ipkg to add extra software. You can use tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/*
subdirs as feeds for your device.

If you're going down in flames, aim for something expensive.
