After removing ~/.emacs.d/eln-cache, running "emacs -q" starts up with
the error "native-compile-async: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil".
This is caused by `comp-el-to-eln-filename' returning nil due to no
writeable eln cache directory being found.
I think we should attempt to create the cache directories if they're
missing, and have a better error if there is *really* no writeable
cache directory.

Hi Andrew,
agree, that's acutally what we have been doing before I broke it two
days ago with 4a1bb46260 :)
c3bc348f5e * Fix failure when eln-cache is removed (introduced by 4a1bb46260)
fix this for me. Could you please confirm?
Thanks
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
Thanks, yes, that fixed the main case where the missing directory
wasn't created. While testing it, I've found another one in subr
trampoline creation; patch submitted as #43875.
Cheers!
