It makes it really easy to ship with a nativesdk toolset or use on
your build host. I have personally been using it this way and made
some recipes for it a few months ago
(https://github.com/nathanrossi/meta-random/tree/master/recipes-toolbox/sigrok).

With the recipes in this series the only dependency that is not also
enabled for native/nativesdk is glibmm. However that is not enabled by
default (since its a dependency of 'cxx' config).

I was only referring to the pre-built firmware binaries that are
released by the sigrok project.
https://sigrok.org/download/binary/sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw/.
