The variable values that result from parsing multiconfig should be
included in the cooker data hash, otherwise changes to these files won't
be detected, which will allow the parsing cache to be loaded with the
old values for the multiconfigs. This can either manifest as the
variable values simply not updating, or getting basehash changed errors
when building.
This bug was previously undetected because all of the multiconfig base
files were a direct file dependency in all parsed recipes. This was
fixed in 34137a00f60 ("bitbake: bitbake: cooker: Rename __depends in all
multiconfigs"), exposing this bug.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
