Just to highlight the challenge here, the provider of virtual/libc
raises a SkipRecipe, therefore every target recipe which isn't allarch
gets skipped and "bitbake world" returns success. We have SkipRecipe
code in the libcs so this isn't even that unlikely. I suspect you'd
argue that is broken.

How do you tell the difference between this case which is a clear error
and your case of X11 being disabled?

Cheers,
