Right.  Lower number of threads means less stuff going on at once.  I've
seen a lot of dep issues that only show up once you have a lot of
threads, or have packaged staging (which then marks off a lot of things
in the dep graph).

So, it really sounds like a bitbake bug.  Doing a bitbake -e on gtk
+-native gives:
DEPENDS_virtclass-native="autoconf-native automake-native libtool-native
gnu-config-native coreutils-native libpng-native atk-native pango-native
cairo-native libxrender-native libxext-native"
DEPENDS="autoconf-native automake-native libtool-native
gnu-config-native coreutils-native libpng-native atk-native pango-native
cairo-native libxrender-native libxext-native"

So it's supposed to be waiting on all of that stuff, but it's not.  And
I'm sure RP will need to know what version of bitbake you're using.
