at least this bbappend is enough to get meta-toolchain-qte to build with
x11 disabled from DISTRO_FEATURES and doesn't change anything when x11
is enabled which is quite different from totally removing x11 from the
dependencies when x11 is enabled.

I agree that we don't have any warranty that qt nativesdk won't link
against X11's host but I have not seen that on several builds and I
think that's a less important problem than having meta-toolchain-qte
broken especially when Qt doen't permit to force disabling x11.

Best regards,
Eric
