One minor comment on the patches already merged. This change:

  http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?h=fido&id=f46c2ac0fd05f0e10258d8f03bfb2ebd0c2bcbe3

was reported to cause problems for multilib [1]. It needs this follow-on fix:

  http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?h=master-next&id=78a0e916882a747c267808c08ab8bc615198b5a8
