yes however there are packages like
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-raspberrypi/tree/recipes-devtools/python/rpio_0.10.0.bb
and
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-raspberrypi/tree/recipes-devtools/python/python-rtimu_git.bb

whose build systems were assuming that they were building inside S and were 
referring to headers include paths
relative to source dirs.

There might be more of these kinds
