http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-SIGGEN_EXCLUDE_SAFE_RECIPE_DEPS
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-SIGGEN_EXCLUDERECIPES_ABISAFE

Does this help? In short it will prevent sstate signature handler in
including the task signatures of recipes included in these variables.

SIGGEN_EXCLUDERECIPES_ABISAFE excludes it from everywhere
SIGGEN_EXCLUDE_SAFE_RECIPE_DEPS excludes it only when counting signature
of given recipes.

machine-host recipe is already in jethro (released yesterday) or do you
want to avoid this SIGGEN_EXCLUDE_SAFE_RECIPE_DEPS addition? I want to
get all these fixes for signatures and dependencies soon - I'm tempted
blocking new changes to meta-oe layers and not updating oe-core until
the reports are clean - the issues were reported months ago and very few
fixes were sent since then.

Adding SIGGEN_EXCLUDE_SAFE_RECIPE_DEPS doesn't make machine-host quirk
works, I would prefer you find proper solution and then we'll get rid of
both machine-host and SIGGEN_EXCLUDE_SAFE_RECIPE_DEPS, ok?
