I am uncertain where the dependency on sed (or sed-native?) is missing/should be added. In the glib recipe or for autotools class? (this time i looked in master but found no relevant patches.)

I am keeping it to one machine and still there is problems.
After cleaning everything and starting over using ASSUME_PROVIDED for sed-native and excluding some other stuff from the image that I could do without I finally got it to build all the way.

Not something I will use for the build server but perhaps usable for day-to-day development work; I did manage to cut the build time in half! :)

Since the package-staging.bbclass patch worked as supposed I will submit a pull request for that and you may take it if you think it's useful for others.

Thanks,
Mats
