[oe] Does it possible to use pre-built native tools

[Guo Hongruan]

Hi Koen,
    Thanks for your information.
    I think it will save my time. Consider I have to build several  
platforms for different architecture, in fact the native tools is  
architecture independent. So I think it is more reasonable to avoid  
building native tools for other platforms. Is there anything wrong with me.


    I tried to use ASSUME_PROVIDED to avoid compiling some native tools,  
but it seems that there are some building failure. I am trying to figure  
them out.
