No, since you can't poke outside ${D} in do_install. I think the best
solution is to have the vala compiler look in the arch dir it's
compiling *for* instead of the host one (STAGING_DIR instead of
STAGING_DIR_NATIVE).
Think of vapi files as m4 macros and you'll see why the current and
previous situation are completely wrong.
