according to yocto ref manual, all uses of RDEPENDS should be
suffixed with a package name (normally, _${PN}, of course), but i just
noticed that the buildtools-tarball.bb recipe file contains:
RDEPENDS = "${TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK}"
i suspect that still works just fine, but it does disagree with the
rather adamant admonition in the ref manual.

The buildtools-tarball doesn't have any packages so in this particular
case, it is acceptable (and accepted by bitbake and the QA tests).
Cheers,
