Noor, thanks for spotting this.
To me this dependency seems very weird.
I can imagine a dependency on binutils-native, but having a host
recipe depend on a target recipe is somewhat strange.
Should this be a dep on binutils-native ?
Robert, can you elaborate (as you added the dep)?

Thanks alot, Frans
