I'll throw a qemuarm build on today and see whether this is an issue
with my build host or not.

The dependencies are enabled if ENTERPRISE_DISTRO=0 but I'm building
with it set to 1. However mplayer2 is still looking for them, much
like vlc did.

I could remove the ENTERPRISE_DISTRO logic and replace it all with
PACKAGECONFIG options but it would lead to a "Nothing PROVIDES" error
if a PACKAGECONFIG option was set for a dependency which isn't built
when ENTERPRISE_DISTRO=1. The error message doesn't even mention
ENTERPRISE_DISTRO so it may be confusing for a user.

Perhaps I could write a python function to check the combination and
issue a better error if the combination is unbuildable. Is there any
way to get such a function to run during recipe parsing and be able to
produce output before the "Nothing PROVIDES" error?

Thanks,
