Thanks.

My point was that even when such setup isn't safe from reasons other
people mentioned, the sanity.bbclass shouldn't fail with OSError
exception.

And as the issue isn't fatal for the build (I was using setup like this
for very long time and haven't noticed host-permissions-contamination
from this yet), then I would prefer just bbwarn instead of bbfatal - in
both cases is should show clear message what's wrong and what user
should do about it instead of OSError and user having to read
sanity.bbclass to see what and why failed.
