Well, could someone who knows bitbake better than me confirm that
it is actually giving preference to the older -native mechanism?

Plus, as mickeyl alludes, 'minimal' is not supposed to set preferences
explicitly, maybe also to expose such kind of bugs?

BTW, I was quite sure that my easy-way patch wouldn't fit everyone;
I can try converting glib-2.0-native_2.22.1.bb which someone is
actually using and drop the older ones, would that do?

Or maybe some more experienced OE dev could take the ball here. :)

A question: is there any autobuilder for DISTRO="minimal" around which
builds some images from a fresh setup periodically to catch such issues?

Thanks,
   Antonio
