ok, that's just silly (but that could be the 9% quebec beer
talking). if i'm working with just one layer, then this:
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "rday"
works fine:
FILESPATH="rday/linux-gnueabi:rday/arm:rday/build-linux:rday/pn-netbase:...
if that fails with more than one layer, then that is, quite simply,
asinine.
