Hmmm ok, thanks That being the case it may be better for me to migrate 
my recipes from
the oe-classic codebase into a new layer created from scratch. It'll be 
quicker and easier for
me that way but perhaps less generic.

(Although my understanding was that Freescale have no intention of 
providing Linux support related
  to OpenEmbedded at this time? Or at least that's what they are telling 
me :)
