That's not quite the same, if I understand it correctly. In that email,
Richard was talking about "dependencies of that target are not needed
and not installed" and used "quilt-native" and "compiler/toolchain" as
example. In other words, if recipe foo DEPENDS on bar for getting foo
compiled, that dependency on bar gets ignored when installing "foo" into
the recipe specific sysroot because it shouldn't be needed anymore.

But the example here is a recipe foo which has a runtime dependency on
bar, so bar must be installed in addition to foo, otherwise foo will not
work.

This is where it gets tricky: do native recipes have RDEPENDS? They are
not getting packaged, so I suppose not. One could collect all RDEPENDS_*
values (regardless of the actual package), but that might be too broad
(for example, when "packaging" the native recipe wouldn't even produce
that package).
