    I'm wondering if recipe specific sysroots might have made this problem
    a bit easier?
    
    It should now be possible to build the two packages with conflicting
    files and as long as you exclude the recipe from the shlibs code and
    set the RPROVIDES correctly, it should all work without as many
    invasive changes?
    
    Of course I haven't tested that...

I'll try that out. That, accompanied with dropping Python 2.x support (thanks Alexander) would make the patchset significantly simpler.

Cheers,
