[PATCH 1/1] runqemu: show bitbake errors to user

From: Scott Garman <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-14 23:28:51
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

In certain edge cases, bitbake may fail to run and cause setup_tmpdir()
within runqemu to fail, and not give the user a helpful error message.
Catch this case and show the user the output of bitbake -e.

This fixes [YOCTO #3112]
