Can you please use capital letters and fullstops in sentences ? I really have 
hard time decoding the text, sorry :(

Nice find, but
1) this should be fixed in the Yocto recipe and submitted into mainline Yocto
2) you should depend on 'bc' , not 'bc-native' as the -native suffix should be
   added by Yocto, no ?
