Why can't these changes just go in the main recipes?  Surely adding
   BBCLASSEXTEND = "native"
to a recipe has no effect unless you need to build the -native version?

Note: I too have been carrying such .bbappend files in my own layers for
a long time.  It would be good to just admit that sometimes the -native
form is needed and fix the primary recipes.
