Hi Richard,

It is hardly to generate dbg for kernel module, it explicitly ignore 
them and strip them.

In meta/classes/package.bbclass:
...
  377     # We ignore kernel modules, we don't generate debug info files.
  378     if file.find("/lib/modules/") != -1 and file.endswith(".ko"):
  379         return 1
...
  943     if (d.getVar('INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP', True) != '1'):
  944         for root, dirs, files in cpath.walk(dvar):
  945             for f in files:
  946                 file = os.path.join(root, f)
  947                 if file.endswith(".ko") and 
file.find("/lib/modules/") != -1:
  948                     kernmods.append(file)
  949                     continue
...
(I tried, but lots of failures and make no sense)

I could not get a case that software gets sources from shared-work and
local kernel module build. But if local kernel module build does not in
work-shared or software's WORKDIR, this fix could not do the collection
from local kernel module.

This fix could collect sources from work-shared and recipes's WORKDIR
(such as gcc).
