Really?  The author of the original recipe had an environment where the
executable was in .libs/.  Are you really sure that such an environment
does not exist anymore? Or will the recipe now silently fail by installing
the shell wrapper sometimes?

Sorry; providing a patch means testing it (regardless whether it is
trivial).  Here, I am not sure whether 'libtool' or the platform
prefixed '<arch>-libtool' is required and how to express
'<arch>-libtool' in oe.

I gave my comment to a patch which fixed a broken recipe by replacing it
with another broken recipe.  So I expect that the author of this patch
fixes and tests his work.

For completeness; install command should be

| libtool --mode=install install -m 0755 src/cacaoh/cacaoh ${STAGING_BINDIR}/cacaoh-cldc-${PV}
