I'd certainly prefer STAGING_LIBDIR_NATIVE rather than paths with the
"/../" in them :). I'm wondering if we need it though?

Just to be clear, this is a problem with ncurses-native? If so,
STAGING_LIBDIR_NATIVE == STAGING_LIBDIR due to native.bbclass anyway so
we don't need the _NATIVE version?

We'd only need a _NATIVE version if our cross compiled packages needed
to reference something there explicitly (like they do some of the
binaries). DoO we need to do that (and if so, which package and why)?

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH for native.bbclass sounds like a worthwhile
experiment...

Cheers,
