When using a PREMIRROR with plain (non-unpack) files, a SRC_URI like
SRC_URI = "file://devmem2.c"
will cause devmem2.c to be a symlink in the WORKDIR pointing to the
local PREMIRROR.
Trying to apply a patch on this file will either modify the file on
the PREMIRROR or will fail due to sanity checks:
ERROR: devmem2-1.0-r7 do_patch: Command Error: 'quilt --quiltrc /cache/build-ubuntu/sysroots/x86_64-oe-linux/etc/quiltrc push' exited with 1 Output:
