[oe] bitbake COMPATIBLE_MACHINE stack backtrace

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Hi,

If I run bitbake (git head of about a week ago) with a recipe that has
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE set and that is not for my machine, I get a bitbake
tracedump;

Log;
frans at linux-suse:~/oe/openembedded/recipes/zaurus-utils> grep COMPAT *
encdec-updater.bb:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = '(poodle|c7x0|spitz|akita|tosa)'
nandlogical_1.0.0.bb:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "(poodle|c7x0|akita|spitz|tosa)"
zaurus-installer.bb:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = '(collie|poodle|c7x0|spitz|akita|tosa)'
zaurus-legacy-tar.bb:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "spitz"
zaurus-updater.bb:COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = '(poodle|c7x0|spitz|akita|tosa)'

Especially in the first case there is no  real error message.
I seem to recall (but have not verified) that 1.10 handled this
without traceback.

Any opinions/fixes?
