I just did a fresh install on my ARMv7 of the entire OS and GNU Radio
from the latest git checkout (was testing Balister's new OE manifest
and SDK) and everything is working great here.

When you say you did a "fresh build", what does that really mean? One
of the quirks of volk is that cmake /has/ to be rerun when these kinds
of changes are made. Best really to clean up everything to make sure
you're doing everything from a clean checkout. "git reset --hard; git
pull origin master; git clean -dxf;". Then rerun cmake and make from a
clean build directory.

The above might be overkill, so if you want a quicker test, start with
the clean git pull of the latest head and just make sure to rerun
cmake and make, not necessarily from an empty directory.
