COMPATIBLE_DISTRO does not exist as far as I know.  So if needed it 
would have to be added.  I tried to work with what's there.

Not sure if COMPATIBLE_DISTRO should be added and be OE's 
responsibility.  If there frequently is a situation where something 
builds in one distro and not the other then I guess it would be better 
to dig deeper into the choices those distros made which lead to that 
outcome and act on that.
