Description Paul Eggleton 2012-06-29 13:59:37 UTC 
It seems that using multiple overrides in a single statement is no longer working with the current version of bitbake (master). As a simple test you can add the following to local.conf:

TESTVAR = "original"
TESTVAR_append_x86 = " x86"
TESTVAR_append_x86_linux = " x86+linux"
TESTVAR_append_linux_x86 = " linux+x86"

Assuming you are building for Linux on an x86 target, the final value reported by bitbake -e | grep ^TESTVAR will be "original x86" whereas it should be "original x86 x86+linux linux+x86" (although RP says that order might be important, so it could be expected that only one of the latter will work, but not that both won't work).

I was able to reproduce this and have sent out a patch for review that fixes it.
