I think conf/target/${TARGET_SYS}.conf must be included after
${DISTRO}.conf, because TARGET_SYS contains
${TARGET_ARCH}${TARGET_VENDOR} and TARGET_VENDOR gets changed by a
${DISTRO}.conf like poky.conf.

I also found this issue when writing an automated test that detects
when include file names change while parsing, and I agree that it
should be either fixed or removed.

See the "Yocto Compatible 2.0 support code" mail thread for details. At
that time I had missed that there was already a pending patch for it.
