The hosts we talk about (Debian 7, CentOS 6) work fine for normal usage
without having to install buildtools. Having to install them for a
situation that could also be dealt with by bitbake automatically seems
not very user friendly.
On IRC, Ross suggested that I should rewrite the regular tar recipe such
that it installs tar as opt-in binary and remove the (mostly obsolete)
tar-replacement-native). I'll send updated patches based on that.
