[oe] llvm-native package dependency on binutils-croos package

[Ahsan, Noor]

Hello,

I am going to remove binutils-cross dependency from llvm-native package
as this package does build successfully without binutils-cross
dependency.

Regards,
Noor

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
