Correct, this is why the modules are only loaded if you use the -j
option, so the dependency is only needed if you use bitbake -j. That at
 least minimises the cross-section of users affected.

You can't use buildtools-tarball as yet as we don't have the -native or
-nativesdk recipes you mention to add to it.
