Ok, I had this concern too when originally discussing the approach in
#yocto, this sounds better.

So just to get things straight, does this mean we no longer need the
patch to remove nasm-native from the jpeg turbo dependencies on non-
intel targets ?

I think "-native" here only means "build an nasm that I can run on the
host architecture" then I think this is fine, as jpeg-turbo will just
ignore the needlessly built nasm when targetting non-intel platforms.
