[yocto] How can I set a recipe that its binaries become available at cross-compile time?

You shouldn't need a separate native recipe: 'BBCLASSEXTEND =
"native"' in the main recipe should work.

If dbus-c++ installs the binaries properly and another recipe depends
on dbus-c++-native then the binaries should be in the native sysroot
during the other recipes build. As an example see dbus-glib and
connman-gnome in oe-core: dbus-glib-native provides dbus-binding-tool
which connman-gnome uses during build.
