Great, this example can be very useful to create custom kernel recipes. Just one thing, the comments on the top suggest to set # COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_yourmachine = "yourmachine" but at the end there is COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "(^$)" Now, the latter form is what I'm used to see. Which kind of advantages using COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_yourmachine ? In that way you don't mask the recipe for other machines...so I don't see the purpose and I think should be discouraged. Thus, I'd amend the example in the comment.
