You are right, my sincere apologies for not being more communicative regarding 
your patch. This is a bug I would like to see fixed, and I will aim to do 
better in future.

However, taking a look at the original patch, my concerns are still the same - 
I don't think package.bbclass should have references to EXTERNALSRC added to 
it. My suggestion would be to try to generalise the solution - have 
package.bbclass detect the underlying problem, or look for S being outside of 
WORKDIR, or something similar.

Thanks
Paul
