There are two ways "file-native" can be used in a build. It can be used
as the host provided "file" command and it is also needed by the file
recipe to build file for the target. We need to build file-native in
order for the build for the target file command to build/work. This is
why it gets built.

With bzip2, we need libbz2 (native) during the build process and we
don't ASSUME_PROVIDED libbz2-devel, hence it builds bzip2-native only
for that piece. Confusing perhaps but necessary unfortunately.

Cheers,

Richard
