[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] build: Allow dirs/cleandirs to work for empty functions

[Richard Purdie]

Users are surprised when dirs/cleandirs aren't acted upon for
empty functions. This reorders the code slightly so that those
flags are acted upon for empty functions as there are cases where
this is expected.
