Looking at the output of bitbake -e, the only dependencies for
gettext-native are:

DEPENDS="autoconf-native automake-native libtool-native
gnu-config-native"

and, if I remember right, all of those are basically scripts rather than
compiled binaries (and hence don't have any rpaths to ch.)  So it seems
as though this would actually be a nonissue in practice.

Yeah, agreed.
