long story short -- was having trouble figuring out why basic
settings i was adding to my build directory's conf/local.conf were
being ignored, and traced it back to the internal layer i was using
having its own "local.conf" file (in its conf directory, sitting
quietly next to the layer's "layer.conf" file).
argh.
i'm assuming that it was *that* local.conf that was being consulted
by the config process (overriding mine). is there some rationale for
that? that doesn't strike me as proper design, but i'm willing to be
educated.

you can check output of bitbake -e <some recipe> and see which
local.conf is being picked up and also trace the history of it
sometimes it could be included by layer.conf from particular layer etc.
there are multiple ways it can come into mix.
