 I'm still running more tests - this seems to be complicated matter.
For one, I just got successful build from empty tree by building
qemu-native directly. That was build targeted to arm, while failing
builds have been for x86 (native is amd64). Also, I think (but cannot
be 100% sure any more) build has succeeded on trees where nothing
depends on libxext-native but still *something* was needed to be built
before qemu-native.
