[OE-core] nss-native fails to build with older binutils on host

[wenzong fan]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a proper solution to fix this build failure:

Package name: nss-native
Host binutils version: 2.17.50.0.6-20.el5_8.3
Host type: CentOS 5.9

Error message:

A similar bug at:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=838401

That shows it caused by older host binutils (as|objdump).

I think this could be fixed by getting nss-native depends on 
binutils-native, but binutils-native somehow only install some libraries 
and remove all the binaries.

Could I just override the do_install_class-native() for binutils? Or 
provide a second recipe like 'binutils-tools-native' to produce the full 
binutils?

Any advices/suggestions will be welcome.


Thanks
Wenzong
