[OE-core] [PATCH] gobject-introspection.bbclass: Disable writing to $HOME/.cache/g-ir-scanner

[Alexander Kanavin]

gdk-pixbuf-native should not be running g-ir-scanner at all, as we
explicitly disable this for native builds. Can you please look into
why it is happening, because the patch is really treating the symptom
rather than the problem.
