  i'm fairly sure i posted on this recently.  base.bbclass
*explicitly* sets FILESPATH to a set of variations thusly:

FILESPATH = "${@base_set_filespath(["${FILE_DIRNAME}/${BP}", "${FILE_DIRNAME}/${BPN}", "${FILE_DIRNAME}/files"], d)}"

which works fine with the recipes in the underlying oe-core layer.

  however, when you use FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend, you get additional
directories based on *only* the name you specify.  so if you do:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"

are you thinking you should also get all variations of "gcc-4.7"?
because that's not what's going to happen.
