Note that in general, keeping things buildable through the history is
important for bisectability (assuming, of course, that this is a
priority for poky -- I'm not certain about that).  The more places
where it won't build, the more commits have to be skipped when
attempting to isolate a real problem.  I'd suggest using the git
test-sequence script (see google) to sanity check a branch before
requesting a merge.
