I had a quick browse this morning, and one question that jumped to mind was
if the oe-meta-go layer was causing problems for go/go-cross support ? I was
carrying some go/go-inc changes in meta-virtualization as well, but recent
reports
are that oe-meta-go should work for everything now.

I'm just asking, since it doesn't make sense for meta-virt or other layers
to
continue to carry go build infrastructure when it could be unified.
