This is basically some hints to the sstate code about which files need
relocation mangling. We process all files for the native/cross cases but
in the target case it's only been .la and binconfig files we've
processed.

An earlier patch is adding in a mechanism to extend this list and this
is adding in some problematic files for the perl case. We've been seeing
sstate failures from issues like this.

I agree this probably needs a little more explanation in the commit
message.

Cheers,

Richard
