Need reviewer - @GenerateNativeHeader

[Fredrik Öhrström]

There is no point holding off this push since GenerateNativeHeader annotation
and uses of it were already pushed long time ago. These are just the finishing
touches to cater for the conversion of the remaining makefiles.

If you want another location for the annotation then we can easily search and
replace it later.
