Its a chicken and egg problem.

We could add a special "uninativesdk" BBCLASSEXTEND range of targets,
then require that it built before we build anything native (or anything
that needs a native tool). This would push build times up 'a little'
and I suspect might not be popular. So the reason we "can't" is that
its impractical, not an absolute technical constraint.

Cheers,
