Re: [PATCH 1/2] do not add cross profile when building native package

[Zhihang Wei <wzh@ilbers.de>]

Hi,

The patch caused one test failed on fast CI, and another failed on full CI.

For fast CI, the failed test case is citest.py:CrossTest.test_cross, when
building target 'mc:phyboard-mira-bookworm:isar-image-base'. Log follows:

You can redo the test on your machine using avocado:
1. Have a clean clone of isar, checkout to branch next and apply your 
patches:
$ git clone -b next https://github.com/ilbers/isar.git
$ cd isar
$ git am /path-to/0001-my-contribution-to-isar.patch
2. Disable several unrelated targets to make error appears faster, by 
applying
the following diff:

diff --git a/testsuite/citest.py b/testsuite/citest.py
index 675015af..f573a9a7 100755

$ ./kas/kas-container shell kas/isar.yaml --command \

4.Run the failed test in fast:
