So, there's a lot of recipes with patches with .. in the path:
openembedded$ git grep -lE "^---.*[^.]\.\.\/" recipes/ | wc -l
80

Some of these will be easy fixups (first one I peeked at we can just 
change the patch and not have to modify the recipe) but others like the 
tcl one will require a little thought.
