The code in base.bbclass to spread PREFERRED_PROVIDERS values
to multilibs doesn't work for things which rely on TARGET_PREFIX,
such as virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc. This is because the expansion
of TARGET_PREFIX produces the wrong value if executed prior to
the assignment of TARGET_VENDOR_virtclass-multilib-libxx, which
will always happen since that assignment doesn't happen until recipe
parsing, but the PREFERRED_PROVIDERS expansion is happening
around ConfigParsed.
To solve this, we make a couple of changes. First, the creation
of the TARGET_VENDOR override values is moved into a new ConfigParsed
event handler in multilib_global. Second, the preferred_ml_updates()
function's code is moved into that function too. It seems safe to
assume that PREFERRED_PROVIDER values only need to be spread to
other multilibs when multilibs are in use.
I don't think this directly affects any use cases that don't involve
third-party or alternative toolchains.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository. openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
