Do you know how I would make that happen?  For me, meta-toolchain is
a black box - I know very little of the internals.

Question about policy: it seems that a good many "native" packages
are built, many just to "level the playing field".   I just checked
and one of my average builds has 148 native packages sitting there.
For example, why build bison-native when my host's bison is even the
same vintage and hence just as adequate?  Why then, draw the line
over python3 in this one recipe?  (Just asking, I'll figure out how
to fix this anyway)
