I found what was wrong in dired-async :-), it was a simple paren error in a condition-case which is here since years and emacs up to recent changes in master never detect. What confused me is that initialy dired-async failed in the same way due to the symlink bug I reported, then you made some change to fix this symlink problem but in the same time, a change occur that doesn't support condition-case with such paren error! Before: (condition-case err (some-code) (file-error (handle-error-code)) nil) Now: (condition-case err (some-code) (file-error (handle-error-code) nil)) I didn't try with native-compilation yet, but it should work. Thanks and sorry to take your time on this. -- Thierry
