I'm fine with adding this task as a shortcut to allow the particular
recipe to be run from a recipe sysroot. What I don't want is every
recipe needing to run this all the time which the "before do_build"
enables. Can we do this without the do_build piece and manually run the
task where needed?

Cheers,
