Hi Richard,

I like this change. However, it causes problem of 'rm_work'.
Now some native recipes don't get cleaned up with 'rm_work' enabled.

e.g.
INHERIT += "rm_work"
bitbake core-image-minimal
A few native recipes don't get clean up such as alsa-lib-native, createrepo-c-native, dnf-native, etc.

Do you have any idea how to fix it? Or should we accept the current situation?

Regards,
Qi

The 'meta' is old and not very useful. It empties PACKAGES and creates
recursive do_build dependencies.

We shouldn't need such recursive build dependencies any more so simplify the code.

This does cause behaviour changes as some dependencies are no longer built.
It did show up issues with qemu-helper-native handling for example but those
issues look like real races and the underlying dependency chains were not correct.
