While you are right in general that adding new archs to OpenEmbedded
based buidsystems (e.g. Poky), avr32 is a special case, like atmel
patches _removing_ platforms from gcc, not supporting shared libs,
arv32-gcc ICEing every other hour and finally kdrive lacking defines for
avr32.
Luckily that situation is improving (slowly, but steadily), avr32
patches are improving and moving upstream, and once the postal services
in continental europe sort out their differences I can test the
packages[1] on a avr32 board with a screen :)

regards,

Koen
