No, all the dependencies should be part of the generated SDK.

I've seen this, and unfortunately, not had time to debug it, nor create
a small test example. And when I took time to make a small test, I
didn't immediately find theh issue...

See Yocto #11724, at https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11724

Ah, a small test example? Perfect!
Could you add it the bug above? It would likely make it easier to debug.

Cheers
