Seems like a good plan to me.
Wrt the do_compile_append: that one does not seem to exist (at least
grep didn't give it to me).
There are some appends for configure/deploy/install though (see below)
I can imagine the deploy and installs also requiring some work.

Would it be a good plan to merge linux-libc-headers into this (so we
can build headers, kernel and modules from the same recipe)

Frans.

PS: I hope this does not mean getting 232 additonal recipes in the
linux dir (and yeah: maybe the linux dir could also use some cleanup).
