Right!

Yes that's true for expression->derivation-in-linux-vm where inputs are
added to PATH an turned to be native-inputs.

However, here, those inputs are added to PATH, but this is the PATH on
the running VM, so they are supposed to be inputs and not native-inputs.

The issue I have is that qemu is not cross-compilable for now, plus it
is useless on the running VM. So I just removed it from both inputs
list.
