I built glib-2.0-native manually and can now build atk-native.
meta-oe's gtk+-native complained

What makes me wonder (atk depends on glib-2.0):
AFAIK there were times when a recipe 'zzz' depending on 'foo' and
having BBCLASSEXTEND = "native", then 'zzz-native' depended on
'foo-native'. Is that (still true) true? If not is it a bug or a
feature?
