‘Error: junk at end of line’ with native-comp
I recently switched to Emacs 28.1 hoping to use the new native-comp support. Being on Windows, I followed these instructions to install libgccjit, copying the resulting libgccjit.dll library to Emacs’s bin folder. However, upon doing so, I received…

Is there a way to determine if emacs uses the byte compiled or the natively compiled code of a function?
Say, there is some function and if I do a describe-function on it it says:
x is an interactive compiled Lisp function in x.el
Can I tell somehow if this loaded compiled code is byte compiled or natively compiled?

How to prevent Emacs 28 from native-compiling everything?
Not sure what's going on, but suddenly Emacs just started byte-compiling native-compiling everything, all Elisp files. No idea how to get it to stop or what caused this. It's doing all the packages too. The laptop I'm on just can't handle this.

What is an eln-cache and how do I get rid of it?
I'm using Emacs 28.2 on Debian 12.1 with just some org-mode settings in the init file, and it suddenly produces an eln-cache/ every time I start it and populates it with a lot of files. It's annoying as I regularly synchronise my ~/.emacs.d/ across…

how often should emacs 28.1 native compile basic emacs files?
I installed 28.1 from source, and when I load emacs in daemon mode, it native-compiles everything under /emacs-28.1/lisp/. Is this normal behaviour? Shouldn't this only need to happen once?
The only config i have set is to move the eln-cache into my…

Transitive `require`s don't work `--with-native-compilation`?
Consider:
;;; a.el
(defun a () nil)
(provide 'a)
;;; b.el
(require 'a)
(defun b () nil)
(provide 'b)
In traditional Emacs this byte compiles fine:
;;; use.el
(require 'b)
(a) ;This is automatically available "transitively" (without…
