Peripherals like a (micro)SD-card reader adapter for USB works fine, but the built-in one in my laptop is not available within the VM-ware player.

Basically both the i2c and the pxaregs recipes compiled the source code directly in the i2c.bb and pxaregs.bb files but didn't use the LDFLAGS at all. So I added ${LDFLAGS} to the end of the line in the respective recipes and then the baking went fine.
