Its been pointed out that some people only use one target and therefore
don't like the longer paths when they don't need them.

I'd propose adding a singlemachine.bbclass which gives the old behaviour
although people using that would do so at their own risk from the
meta-toolchain and sdk.bbclass perspectives.
