[OE-core] gcc-4.7.inc wrong FILESPATH setting?

[Giuseppe Condorelli]

Hi Paul and all,

coming back to this discussion....
It seems that setting FILESPATH in the gcc .inc file doesn't allow system
to recognize the FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend setting in the append file.
I'm wondering if you can test this scenario, maybe creating a gcc append
recipe to add a dummy file in the SRC_URI list.

Cheers,
Giuseppe
