Since I forgot to check with emacs -Q, I assume (now) all lisp files
which are loaded by my init.el.

When doing emacs -Q nothing is compiled at first, the eln-cache remains
empty.  After loading init.el Emacs is beavering away for some minutes
(4 cores, with virus scanners active). :-/

I can't reproduce the zero size .eln.tmp files anymore.  Maybe that was
an issue with org-mode from an old org-elpa package which I changed in
the meantime from the gnu archive?  That's the only idea which comes to
mind...

When updating packages the native compilation works as well.

So for the moment, everything looks promising! :-)

I updated the system quite recently.

$ pacman -Ss libgccjit
