 Alternatively, you could fall back onto a copy (or rsync) if out-of-tree 
building is not supported.

 I'm using rsync for my local packages, but without common infrastructure.  
It looks like this:

RT_APP_VERSION      = local
RT_APP_SRCDIR       = $(call qstrip,$(BR2_RT_APP_SRCDIR))
RT_APP_SOURCE       = # Defined empty, so it won't be downloaded
RT_APP_EXTRACT_CMDS = rsync -v -rltODx --exclude=.svn --exclude=.git $(RT_APP_SRCDIR)/ $(RT_APP_DIR)

 In addition, I _always_ want to rebuild this package (because that's what's
changing all the time).  Note that my rsync command above doesn't delete
anything, so the object files are still there.  So I add the following to
my rt_app.mk as well:

# Force re-extraction, re-building and re-installation
$(RT_APP_TARGET_EXTRACT): RT_APP_FORCE
$(RT_APP_TARGET_BUILD): RT_APP_FORCE
$(RT_APP_TARGET_INSTALL_TARGET): RT_APP_FORCE
RT_APP_FORCE:
.PHONY: RT_APP_FORCE


 
 Regards,
 Arnout
