Ok, I confirm this was actually the case, the old way to do native
recipes seems to have precedence on the new one, this is with bitbake
1.8.18, don't know if that is dependent on bitbake version tho.

Removing all glib-2.0-native packages makes gtk+-native-2.20.0-r8.0
build ok.

Should I just send a patch which blindly removes native
recipes for older versions, or try to port the BBCLASSEXTEND mechanism
to them? I don't know if I am fully comfortable with such changes in OE,
but I can always send a tentative patch.
