I have a similar problem in Guacamayo, where I have more than one target
machine, and generally prefer to use the elg-native backend unless it
cannot be avoided because the elg driver is too broken. So the recipes
in Guacamayo were set up so as to make it easy to reconfigure the
packages based on machine and distro features using a mininal bbappend,
e.g.,
https://github.com/Guacamayo/meta-guacamayo/blob/master/meta-guacamayo/recipes-graphics/clutter/clutter-1.12_git.bbappend.
The original recipes are too much marked by the specifics of the
Guacamayo set up and their gradual evolution, but I am in the process of
cleaning this up, so it can be used by others.
