In the case of MACHINE=nokia800 and me getting
poodle-kernel-2.4-embedix.bb, that should be the case already?
$ grep COMPAT poodle-kernel-2.4-embedix.bb
openzaurus-pxa_2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix20031107.inc
poodle-kernel-2.4-embedix.bb:COMPATIBLE_HOST = "arm.*-linux"
openzaurus-pxa_2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix20031107.inc:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE =
"(poodle|corgi|shepherd|husky|poodle255|tosa)"
openzaurus-pxa_2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix20031107.inc:COMPATIBLE_HOST =
"arm.*-linux"
openzaurus-pxa_2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix20031107.inc:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE =
'(c7x0|corgi|husky|shepherd|poodle|poodle255)'

Can you explain a little more here or point to an example of fixing this
elsewhere?  Thanks!
