The problem is we want qemu-native to be buildable both on systems without X11 
and systems with X11, so the dependency has to be floating, and this is more or 
less acceptable for a native recipe - there's only a problem when libxext-
native needs to be built. I can't see a lot of value in building libxext-
native in any case - what is causing it to be built on your system?

Cheers,
