-                    To illustrate how to use
-                    <filename>PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS</filename>, consider the
-                    following example:
-                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS = " \
-          -prefix ${prefix} \
-          -sysroot ${STAGING_DIR_NATIVE} \
-          -no-gcc-sysroot
-          "
-                    </literallayout>
-                    In the previous example,
-                    <filename>PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS</filename> is set with
-                    three configuration options that can be passed using the
-                    <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename> mechanism, thus
-                    avoiding having to use <filename>EXTRA_OECONF</filename>.
