Looking at meta/recipes-devtools/qemu/qemu.inc it is explicitly looking at 
DISTRO_FEATURES for the native class. That seems wrong to me as well, but I 
would be surprised if it were the only place we were referring to 
DISTRO_FEATURES in the native context (especially implicitly - consider the 
defaults for PACKAGECONFIG in various recipes where we initialise it based on 
DISTRO_FEATURES and don't provide a special default for native). I guess it's 
something that someone will need to go through and clean up at some point.

Cheers,
Paul
