my changes have been updated after last review cycle. I did not
address all reviews but most of them. The latest changes are here

https://github.com/kraj/openembedded-core/commits/kraj/master

I think this would need the latest adaptation for rss to be included now.
however this was working fine for most of arches and even with musl.
I would love some help in testing and fixing them making them further
worthy of submission as v2
