[PATCH 0/1][Resend] meta-yocto fix

[Shane Wang]

The patch is to change local.conf to allow Hob change BB threads and pmake. Please review.
In the current local.conf, BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE are assigned
by '=', which overwrites the values set from the Hob. To avoid that, use '?='
instead.

The following changes since commit 8691a588267472eb5a32b978a0eb9ddfd0c91733:

  cross-canadian.bbclass: fix rpath for sdk executables (2012-03-31 18:00:59 +0100)

If the user has used "=" in their configuration files, hob needs to deal
with this. It is not acceptable to patch the world to revolve around
hob.

So, no, I'm not going to take this patch, sorry.

Cheers,
