How do I verify that? Could you perhaps show at least some of the
cache and tell how to compare that with what I get here?

If I invoke 'find' from the shell prompt, I get this:
D:\gnu\git\emacs\branch>find . -name "mini*"
./doc/emacs/mini.texi
./doc/lispref/minibuf.texi
./lib/mini-gmp-gnulib.c
./lib/mini-gmp.c
./lib/mini-gmp.h
./lisp/minibuf-eldef.el
./lisp/minibuf-eldef.elc
./lisp/minibuffer.el
./lisp/minibuffer.elc
./src/deps/minibuf.d
./src/minibuf.c
./src/minibuf.o
./test/lisp/minibuffer-resources
./test/lisp/minibuffer-resources/data/minibuffer-test-cttq$tion
./test/lisp/minibuffer-tests.el
./test/lisp/minibuffer-tests.elc
./test/src/minibuf-tests.el
Do you get something very different?
