I'll try the MACHINE = thingie tonight or tomorrow. Actually
originally I skipped this because I thought it will build me a whole
toolchain (which is quite time consuming) but thinking of it -c patch
will probably only require a few native recipes (like patch-native)
that already exists anyway, so it is limited to the parsing.

Wrt alsa-scenario: If it was not a git recipe I would have proposed it
for deletion, but maybe this is just a srcrev that does not exist any
more or so (after a merge).
Actually didn't check yesterday, but did so today, the git does not
clone for me.
