Yes, that's one of the reasons. And, also because when I set
native.comp-eln-cache-path,
anything that is not part of the Emacs distribution gets compiled into that
directory. For example,
the clone of org-mode main as well as the packages from elpa/melpa/nungnu.

When refreshing my local copy of the org-mode repo, I start with a make
cleaneln before pulling and then
make native. Thus I get a predictable build.
