[yocto] Can SRC_URI look in the same place for two different machines?

[Giordon Stark]

Right, so the problem for me is that there seems to be two ways to do this:

MACHINEOVERRIDES .= ":machine3" (for 3a, 3b)

or

FILESEXTRAPATHS_append_machine3a = "${THISDIR}/files/machine3/"
FILESEXTRAPATHS_append_machine3b = "${THISDIR}/files/machine3/"

But it's not clear to me which is better.... or fits with the philosophy of
yocto/bitbake.
