Add new variable 'inhibit-native-compilation'

Add new variable 'inhibit-native-compilation'

[Konrad Podczeck]

How to get, after the changes of how native compilation works, the old
behavior, i.e., one sees a log file of how native compilation of
packages goes on, and after finishing this, in .emacs.d, an eln-cache
folder is shown showing all the packages which have been natively
compiled, instead, as it is now, only two trampoline files?

You mean, installing a package no longer natively-compiles its files?
Not even when you later load the package into Emacs and use it?  If
so, in what Emacs version do you see that?

Yes, I mean exactly  this.The Emacs-version I use is 29.0.50 (9.0), on a Mac.

I'm not sure what you mean -- Emacs has never shown a log of native
compilation on startup, or displayed the eln-cache directory after
finishing.

If what you mean is that JIT compilation no longer happens, that sounds
like a bug.  I'm not able to reproduce that -- if I start up a
nativecomp Emacs, it creates a large number of .eln files in the
eln-cache diretory.
