Heh, another instance of "duplication" - I also have a similar recipe in my 
layer... Well, I do understand that "the early bird gets the worm" or the 
first submitter gets his change merged, but let me point out few issues:

It's easy to see that linuxptp build doesn't really use autotools or pkgconfig

Why do you need to mangle the makefile? Passing CROSS_COMPILE and maybe ARCH 
should be enough, isn't it?

And the last bit about dependency on virtual/kernel above and passing 
KBUILD_OUTPUT=STAGING_KERNEL_DIR to the build - I have looked into what that 
does and it tries to locate the correct /usr/include/linux/net_tstamp.h just 
to see if it contains definition for HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC. But that header 
file hasn't changed in at least 5 years. Anyway, the result of the check is to 
pass some defines to their build. I ended up just short-cutting the check and 
avoid unnecessary dependency on virtual/kernel:

EXTRA_OEMAKE = "CROSS_COMPILE=${TARGET_PREFIX} ARCH=${TARGET_ARCH} \
                EXTRA_CFLAGS='-D_GNU_SOURCE -DHAVE_CLOCK_ADJTIME \
                -DHAVE_ONESTEP_SYNC'"

Should I submit a patch to fix the above issues?
