virtual/ is a namespace and packages can elect to provide or require these virtual entities. libc can be provided by glibc or uclibc for example. For an example of how to use ASSUME_PROVIDED see conf/machine/native.conf > Ok, I nevertheless tried to compile the program I want and bitbake started > gathering dependencies, compiling quilt-native but failed at the second > package.

I don't have a fix but you could use patcher instead of quilt. INHERIT += "patcher" in your local.conf.
