bitbake failure building u-boot-qoriq for a T1024RDB machine

I'm moving the customer's older yocto dunfell release of their image to the scarthgap version. It's running on an older T1024RDB board (powerpc). The older version of u-boot was 2019 and now it's 2024. I've managed to build most of the image (linux-qoriq_6.6 is building) but the u-boot-qoriq fails with the following errors:

Not sure how to proceed. I get no more output than that and console in the "devshell" is not a git repo and is unbuildable even after it is configured. (Missing compile switches).

This means I have no way of running the script_dtc script and see the error. Yocto has made it completely hidden. Is there any advice as to how to proceed here?

Cheers!!
