Something is very wrong with vala-native then :(

Target packages should not be installing things into the native sysroot.
The reason why is when we come to start using staging packages, these
staging packages are going to have a dependency on the specific build
system they were built on.

If these files are architecture independent I'd suggest putting them in
an architecture independent path (which native sysroot is not)
