Up to this mail I did not notice any problem but the bad guy seems xfce4-dev-
tools: Few xfce recipes depend on that and it contains only:

- m4 autoconf extensions
- two shell scripts (don't know what they are for...)

By inheriting xfce, it inherits gtk-icon-cache which seems to depend on hicolor-
icon-theme.

I don't remember what exactly my idea was, when adding native support on that.

Will make a change, build test it on fresh build dir and send a patch on meta-oe 
mailing list.

Apart from bad practice on xfce4-dev-tools: I wouldn't have expected trouble 
when a native recipe depends on an allarch one.
