Its not something I can describe easily, more a gut feeling that is shared by some others I've talked to. Basically externalsrc is turning into an ever more complicated pile of corner cases and it worries me a lot. I can't help thinking we really want to simplify and streamline this, not add more complexity to it. How exactly we do that I'm not sure, I haven't had the time to spend looking at the code. I do appreciate you added a test case though. I guess what might help would be creating standard API in lib/oe to get things like the remapped name. I'm actually tempted to throw out he externalsrc symlinks stuff. If our directory layout is so bad we really should fix that "properly" and that's something I'm thinking about for the next development cycle...
