+        Attempts to isolate the build system from the host
+        distribution's C library in order to make re-use of native shared state
+        artifacts across different host distributions practical.
+        With this class enabled, a tarball containing a pre-built C library
+        is downloaded at the start of the build.
+        In the Poky reference distribution this is enabled by default
+        through
+        <filename>meta/conf/distro/include/yocto-uninative.inc</filename>.
+        Other distributions that do not derive from poky can also
+        "<filename>require conf/distro/include/yocto-uninative.inc</filename>"
+        to use this.
+        Alternatively if you prefer, you can build the uninative-tarball recipe
+        yourself, publish the resulting tarball (e.g. via HTTP) and set
+        <filename>UNINATIVE_URL</filename> and
+        <filename>UNINATIVE_CHECKSUM</filename> appropriately.
+        For an example, see the
+        <filename>meta/conf/distro/include/yocto-uninative.inc</filename>.
