For this I used imx6qsabresd (want to build for another machine but to
be sure that my layer does not cause trouble I removed it from
bblayers.conf and select imx6qsabresd).

Updates:

1) when replacing DISTRO = "angstrom" by DISTRO = "nodistro" in
local.conf and using imx6qsabresd as machine -> parsing of recipes
starts.
2) selecting custom machine [1] and DISTRO = "nodistro" -> sanity causes break

I get the feeling that there is some kind of race:
check_sanity_eventhandler in sanity.bbclass might get called before
python code in fsl-dynamic-packagearch.bbclass was executed.
