Description Patrick Ohly 2016-12-20 16:52:02 UTC 
The expectation is that assignments in a multiconfig override the same assignments in the base local.conf. For example, a MACHINE = "qemux86-64" in a multiconfig/qemux86-64.conf should override a MACHINE = "qemux86" in local.conf.

At the moment (poky a92d27acd8) it doesn't do that because cookerdata.py parses the multiconfigs first.
