This is just a workaround, I thought we'd found a better way to handle
this.

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...

Cheers,

Richard

setting HELP2MAN environment to 'true' for cross-builds might be a
general solution.... 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...

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.

help2man is *totally* useless in any cross situation. We also don't
need/want man-pages for native tools so I can't see a case where this is
a problem...

Can you use class overrides to control that
