 We are just patching up the Makefile a bit so it works properly and
 don't want to redefine variables this project has been using.

 OTOH this patch needs an upstream-status and also needs to be sent upstream.

 Yes I know it is inside of the project Makefile however you're
 patching it anyway so better to make it us the standards and send
 upstream.

 That's fine, but I would not let that hold up this patch if the author
 did not want to pursue getting upstream to change such things. ;)

This recipe is not target to meta-fsl-ppc, is it? It seems to fit
meta-openembedded.

 Well, the maintainer there would have the final say, but I think
 changing an upstream projects stuff should not effect it's acceptance
 (into meta-oe or meta-fsl-ppc)

I am not in position to nack something for meta-fsl-ppc. In meta-oe I
am in some areas but not in crypto packages; however meta-oe
discussion is off-topic here.

My intention to comment on the recipe was to help. I noticed something
that had an alternative solution and seemed easy to improve it as it
was going to add a patch for Makefile so change one or two lines
wouldn't be a big deal ...

I'm just saying that the change you requested requires convincing
upstream to accept a change and might require lots of other bits to be
changed not limited to other build systems and/or documentation.

I don't think that onus should be placed on a recipe author. That
being said, I think what you suggested is probably the right thing to
do but sometimes other priorities will come first ;)
