I hope it would be enough to reset your targets and unpack rootstraps there.
You can also try to make the same symlinks as I have instead of
removing /opt from roostraps.
Here is what I have:
[sbox-maemo5-arm: ~] > file /opt
/opt: symbolic link to `/targets/links/opt'
[sbox-maemo5-arm: ~] > file /targets/links/opt
/targets/links/opt: symbolic link to `/targets/maemo5-arm/opt'
[sbox-maemo5-arm: ~] > file /targets/maemo5-arm/opt
/targets/maemo5-arm/opt: directory

The only difference I can see is that my symlinks point out to the
directory which exists,
so you can start from creating /home/opt. If it won't work then you
can try to make the same symlinks that I have.
