Looks like a mistake in the documentation. Native only recipes (ie
recipes which use "inherit native" rather than BBCLASSEXTEND) should
have "-native" as a suffix, not "native-" as a prefix.

If you use BBCLASSEXTEND (ie "the second method") then that recipe
naming rule doesn't apply. ie a recipe using BBCLASSEXTEND should not
have a "-native" suffix.
