I think a reproducer for the above is: "bitbake help2man-native; bitbake libtasn1 -c cleansstate; bitbake libtasn1" and the real fix will be to reorder PATH so the scripts directory comes before the native sysroot...

But this does not seem to be implemented... Right, I remember looking into this and its hard to disable. I've pushed a PATH change to address this problem... Cheers, Richard

But this makes 'help2man' completely unavailable which might break man-page generation for -native (where 'help2man' works) or for every package which requires a working 'help2man' tool. Enrico

We also don't need/want man-pages for native tools so I can't see a case where this is a problem... Cheers, Richard
