I missed that - there should be another way to go for this problem.
Two questions

* What exactly does SIGGEN_EXCLUDE_SAFE_RECIPE_DEPS do? I checked your
original patch in oe-core but do not understand what the result of
setting SIGGEN_EXCLUDE_.. is.
* How much time do you give me to come around with a proper solution -
without machine-host quirk? I would like to avoid getting this into
jethro.
