What micro.conf does is to put all the *_prefix variables to "".
Also to create an sdk is not my scope, I need to build a base-image distro
and, running "bitbake base-image", this will not use nativesdk.bbclass
AFAIK.
I tried to modify *_prefix variables but, everytime, build failed at a
given point.
I repeat, what I need is to obtain the rpm packages with %files containing
relocated information (see above).

What's your idea?

Giuseppe
