You'll need a build host who age matches the 5.3 SlugOS release --
basically, the host tools (compilers, libraries, python, etc) have all
changed in ways incompatible with the Openembedded build tools from that
era.
If you're using ubuntu, I'd go back to one of the 09.xx releases, or
even the 08.xx releases (with no updates applied) and try that. For
Fedora users, I would suggest something in the range of Fedora 9 to
perhaps Fedora 11 might work.
You *could* try to fix up the recipes and python libraries that make up
the OE build tool -- cherry pick patches from the latest Openembedded
GIT repo -- but the OE folks have dropped support for a lot of the
cross-compilation tools we used with SlugOS 5.3, so that approach is
unlikely to work very well. I can tell you that selecting a snapshot
from last November of the OE build system will get you a SlugOS
5.4-alpha that worked very nicely indeed. In fact, if my job situation
hadn't changed so dramatically last December, I would have released
SlugOS 5.4-beta at the end of December... c'est la vie.
