Details:

When running etc/make-native.sh to build a native code scheme from a portable
c scheme, the first attempt to run the native microcode (run_cmd in runtime/:
../microcode/scheme --library ../lib --fasl make.bin --heap 6000) crashes
with

initialize: (runtime 2d-property)
initialize: (runtime hash-table)
Microcode Error: No error handlers.
Error code 0x2 (unassigned-variable).

followed by a stack trace.  (Full log of run attached.)  The problem first
appeared in git commit a5e7841fdf715eeadde26e2e21261ec0e5c34ea8.

The problem appears to be that the (runtime hash-table) initialize-package!
function ends up indirectly calling some functions from (runtime
lambda-abstraction), which has not been initialized at that point.  Swapping
the order of initialization in runtime/make.scm fixes the problem.  (Actually,
I swapped the entire "Basic data structures" and "Microcode data structures"
sections in order to keep each one together.)  Patch attached.
