bug#63062: 29.0.90; configure.ac : what's different `--with-native-compilation=aot' and `--with-native-compilation=yes' ?

[xiliuya via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

Hello emacs maintainer:

When I compiled the packages in the same system environment using the
'--with-native-compilation=aot' and the '--with-native-compilation=yes'
respectively, file lists differ only by a few `.ELN'

For example, 'lisp/avoid.el' is only compiled to '.elc', does not compile all
Lisp files as '.eln'.

I checked `configure.ac`, This is not the same as an introduction.

```configure.ac
           'yes' (or empty) means to enable it and compile natively
           preloaded Lisp files; 'no' means to disable it;
           'aot' will make the build process compile all the Lisp 
           files in the tree natively ahead of time.  (This will 
           usually be quite slow.)

```

I seem to be unable to reproduce this.  I see all the *.el files
compiled to *.eln under this option.

Where (in which sub-directory of the build tree) did you look for the
*.eln files you expected to be produced by the build?  Also, if you
try this in a freshly-cloned repository, does it work then?

Hello,Eli Zaretskii:

Sorry for the late reply.

I tried compiling many times to find the
problem.  I tested it at archlinux.

This is because I didn't clean up the files generated by the last
compilation. I am very sorry for the wrong question.

Ok, thanks.  So I guess this issue can be closed now?
