I have recently tried to find a temporary workaround to this issue with
straight.el+org+native-comp. However, my workaround seems to fail
because of native-comp (at least, I believe so).

The recipe is the same, but I forcefully defined org-version,
org-release, and org-git-version in my init.el before loading org.
See the attached file for details.

Best,
Ihor
