Since the cacao-initial-native is only used briefly during the build process, I think small workaround is better than large scale changes to the old codebase. I also didn't notice any difference in classpath-native or jamvm-native build times, so the performance impact is negligible.

So please cook a patch adding the workaround and add a proper comment
in the recipe with FIXME so we are aware of it.

If possible, consider the possibility of packaging the staging
repository so we could use a newer release, after that,  and likely
drop patches :)
