Not that I have an objection to your patch, but I think this remark about COMPATIBLE_MACHINE is wrong. AFAIK, you can disregard the parenthesis and just splice extra alternates on the end, viz: COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_append = "|mymachine" so there oughtn't to be any reason, in general, for .bbappends to have a hard time extending that field. p.
