This is the problem I see with multiple BSPs. In the end for every one of them
the best solution is to fork linux-libc-headers.

Adding custom recipes to export headers for every BSP kernel is not scaling so well.

Sharing the BSPs and hacks around them would be nice but they are not public sadly :(

Cheers,
