We can use a MACHINE specific override here, I think.

RDEPENDS_${PN}_sys940x += "genmac"

Ideally we don't want that interfaces file on non-sys940x machines,
perhaps we could name the interfaces file differently and add a
do_install_append_sys940x which installs the MACHINE specific interface
file?

In this instance, however, I don't know what would happen if we built
netbase with this layer enabled for a different core2 MACHINE and then
built for the sys940x....

I suspect the existing core2 package would be used and think for this
approach to work we'd need to mark this recipe MACHINE specific.

I was missing a detail here which Koen pointed out, if you use a MACHINE OVERRIDE in SRC_URI BitBake should mark the package as MACHINE specific.

I've submitted a patch to make netbase MACHINE specific by default but should that patch not be accepted the use of an OVERRIDE on SRC_URI or explicitly setting PACKAGE_ARCH = "${MACHINE_ARCH}" in the bbappend will be an appropriate fix.

Cheers,
Joshua
