As a general remark to your current patch series, I think there is some
confusion what COMPATIBLE_MACHINE is for. To me it's signals "this
recipe is specific to a *machine*", not "this recipe is missing files to
make it work without other archs/machines".

The cases:

spidermonkey/firefox/numpy: needs jsautocfg.h for each arch, no need for
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE or COMPATIBLE_ARCH, people need to add support for
their archs

u-boot-env/pivotboot: needs a file for each machine to work properly,
but adding an (empty) fallback file is the way to go since it's only
used in deploy/.

Tacking on COMPATIBLE_{MACHINE,HOST} would just hide the problems and
make fixing it more more tedious than it needs to be. For kernel and
uboot C_M is used to make bitbake do the right thing since they all
share the same PN.

That's my take on the situation, dunno if it's the consensus or not.

regards,

Koen
