I'm trying to come up with a way to fix this without needing a kernel patch.

Sounds like you are already aware of the pkgconfig issue, which is
what I'm attempting to fix via environment manipulation versus a
patch.

We do need python dtschema as well, as a new native dependency of the
bindings check, which unfortunately pulls in ruamel and jsonschema.
Those are both in meta-python, so they need to migrate to core to
support the new checking.

There's also a problem with nproc being used, and it was giving me an
error on one of my servers, I haven't looked into it more yet.

I have a quick recipe here as well. And with those two pieces in
place, I'm up and running again.

The right thing for the short term, is that revert. There's quite a
bit of sorting out to do, to get this in decent shape for core ...
personally, I'd like to make the checking optional for those that
don't want it .. but that goes against what Rob is trying to do in the
kernel :D

If those issues sound familiar, and there's interest, I can drop my
WIP commits into a branch and share.
