Assuming what you mean is BBCLASSEXTEND = "native" for every recipe, I don't 
think we want to do this. There are a lot of things that should simply be 
provided by the host rather than us building them; we need to be selective 
about what we build as a workaround for the host not providing a suitable 
version.

See this bug for an example of at least one way this can go wrong:

Cheers,
