So we should use "native-compiled" if it is an adjective, and "natively
compiled" if it is an adverb.  I tried fixing this up on master in
commit 678fdcc1659.  Please check.

I think we're in a better shape now, so I'm closing this bug.

It is "natively compiled", not "natively-compiled".  Also it is
"native-compiled," not "native compiled."  Maybe we should stick to one
of the forms exclusively?  (Currently all four compounds are used,
though mostly the two wrong ones.)
