We use the above in quite a few places, including when we start async
native-compilation. So if it has some problems, we had better
discussed them, because I don't quite see why would the above need to
use truename. If the OS succeeded to start Emacs via a symlink when
the current session was started, why would it fail to start it from
inside Emacs?
