Man, considering the quantity of search results telling users to use BB_ENV_PASSTHROUGH_ADDITIONS to accomplish what I'm doing, that really feels like something that should be highlighted in red, and bolded, in the documentation ( https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-ref-variables.html#term-BB_ENV_PASSTHROUGH_ADDITIONS ). Not to mention all of the CMAKE gotchas I've come across.
