FWIW, I still have the patch from: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-October/069912.html in my local tree and it seems to be working fine (although I don't have any particular interest in libltdt so it's conceivable that this might be broken). Looking back at that old thread it seems that you asked me to split into two patches, I said "ok", but apparently I never did anything further about it. It's possible I might have been put off by Paul not liking the name or something, I don't really recall. p.
