I happened to find such a bug that was confirmed by Jiajun: Running "bitbake libxml-sax-perl libxml-sax-perl-native -c populate_sysroot; bitbake libxml-simple-perl -c populate_sysroot' can reproduce the issue.

BTW, Jiajun reproduce the bug using commit 4ff7af11ef69849ef9c16f585eae58ac920b222b Date: Fri May 27 14:11:20 2011 -0700 machine confs: Add xserver-kdrive as PREFERRED_PROVIDER But I believe the latest poky master has the same issue.
libxml-simple-perl using ${STAGING_LIBDIR_NATIVE} as its module include path, and that cause the failure.
Can you confirm that this is still a problem? There was a fix pending, and I wonder if the perlnative work fixes this issue more correctly.
(In reply to comment #2) > Can you confirm that this is still a problem? There was a fix pending, and I > wonder if the perlnative work fixes this issue more correctly. Yes, it could be built now and I guess Dexuan's patch (a74e428e34d80bdb1bff33ddd8c97709bb08b0ba) works.
