[oe] what sources are *not* fetched by a "-c fetchall"?

  currently testing a build for my beaglebone black using the meta-ti
layer and, as i am wont to do, i did a:

  $ bitbake -c fetchall core-image-minimal

to (allegedly) fetch everything i would need for such a build.

  at that point, i did:

  $ bitbake core-image-minimal

and while this is running, i can see more source tarballs being pulled
into the downloads directory -- examples:

  * file-5.13.tar.gz
  * icu4c-50_1_2-src.tgz
  * mklibs_0.1.34.tar.gz
  * pcre-8.32.tar.bz2

and perhaps more since the build is not yet done.

  what is it about these particular packages that doesn't fall under
the regular fetching from "-c fetchall"?
