we wouldn't want this patch. But all the links I'm turning up are
dead, so :shrug:]

+** EASY oe/autotest-automake-result-format.patch
+Adds a command line option to autotest to disable the test group banner and test
+summary. My guess is that makes automated tooling to use but would need to dig
+through the yocto ptest package to figure it out.
+
+Otherwise, patch looks mostly fine except for some random changes to whitespaces
+that are not at all related to the patch. Would probably need to clean that up
+before merging.
+
+This is a new feature so can be dealt with later.
+
+** SKIP oe/check-automake-cross-warning.patch
+Upstream status of the patch is "Innapropriate [configuration]"
+
+Seems to be tweaks to the build to enable `--warning=cross` if available.
+
+** QUESTION oe/config_site.patch
+The patch is supposed to allow for multiple files to be provided in CONFIG_SITE
+but it doesn't change the processing of the variable at all. Instead it seems
+like it's removing the default search paths for the config.site file.
+
+Comment on the patch seems to indicate that in 2.68 the variable wasn't being
+used but nothing of what I'm reading in the patch seems to agree with this.
+
+** SKIP oe/fix_path_xtra.patch
+This patch just removes XMKMF to remove confusion in their particular build
+enviornment. I'm going to go ahead and say we can skip this.
+
+** SKIP oe/performance.patch
+2b59b6f8a79b8bf77e178ff4e5aa0ede433d39cf
+
+From a quick reading, it seems like the above patch does essentially the same
+thing but in a cleaner way.
+
+** SKIP oe/preferbash.patch
+Prefers bash over sh because in their system sh can map to dash and they use a
+lot of bashisms.
+
+Highly specific to Yocto so shouldn't be upstreamed.
+
+** EASY oe/program_prefix.patch
+Only description for the patch is a dead link.
+
+Adds a check for `--target != --host` prior to setting program_prefix to
+`--target` in AC_CANONICAL_TARGET.
+
+I can't tell whether this is a good idea or not.
+
+** QUESTION oe/remove-usr-local-lib-from-m4.patch
+Looks like autoconf uses a hard coded coded /usr/local path for AIX which causes
+yocto some problems (these problems are not described).
+
+The patch itself just removes a problematic section for AIX which they don't
+support. Could investigate whether replacing the hard-coded path by something
+else could solve their problem.
