Also note that module.bbclass already does "make scripts" before
do_compile() so out-of-tree modules should already have access to all
the files that they need.
If we're going to make a policy decision that the kernel is responsible
for making scripts then I guess that's fine (modulo the implementation
problems that Mike describes) but in that case the code in
module{-base}.bbclass is redundant and ought to be removed.
