Note that at the moment we explicitly disable g-i for nativesdk in g-i 
class:

EXTRA_OECONF_prepend_class-nativesdk = "--disable-introspection "

So you're effectively working on a new feature, and it's not surprising 
there are weird errors :) Gobject-introspection is a notoriously tricky, 
delicate thing that was never designed for cross-compilation or 
sysroots, and you only need to look at the g-i recipe to see how much 
effort went into making it work right when building for the target.

I did reproduce the

"| ./g-ir-compiler: line 117: 
/home/mardy/pelux/build/tmp/work/x86_64-nativesdk-pokysdk-linux/nativesdk-gobject-introspection/1.50.0-r0/build/.libs/lt-g-ir-compiler: 
No such file or directory"

stuff, so no need to publish anything :). I can't promise I'll find time 
to look into it very soon though - this is a new feature development, 
not a bug.
