I would warn you that there is code in there that is clearly
inappropriate for OE-Core.

It would also explain that bug report you sent me which referenced
"do_populate_sysroot_post" and I asked what local modifications you had
and you said "none" ;-).

Does the patch in this thread take care of your needs regarding the
srctree and clean classes?

For cleanobjs, I can see advantages in merging something like that into
the core...

Cheers,

Richard
