I know.
Reason for raising this is that this is an issue on other places as
well, which could require some attention.
There are some flags that control things (like MACHINE_FEATURES), but
the granularity is maybe too coarse.
Also the blues recipes do not seem to take MACHINE_FEATURES fully into account.
e.g. EXTRA_OECONF contains --enable-alsa. Ideally this only should be
done if you are building for a machine that supports alsa.
(issue is that if you make this machine dependent the whole recipe
becomes machine dependent)
