The intended usage wasn't clear to me at first. I think it is something
like "bitbake foobar-native" and then calling foobar's tools directly
from tmp/work/*/foobar-native/*/recipe-sysroot-native (?).

If true, then any recipe intending to be used like that also needs to
exclude itself from do_rm_work:
RM_WORK_EXCLUDE += "${PN}"

Or perhaps more selectively exclude the RSS:
RM_WORK_EXCLUDE_ITEMS += "recipe-sysroot-native" (is there a variable
for this name?)
