hmm. you shouldn't set DISTRO in conf/layer.conf, that doesn't sound
right. DISTRO needs to be set in local.conf (or any of the other build
specific conf files). DISTRO is then used by bitbake.conf file which
does :

include conf/distro/${DISTRO}.conf

this is how your DISTRO config file gets used in the build configuration.
