I rebuilt by doing a "make distclean" and then:

nohup make configure="--with-x-tookit=no --with-native-compilation" \
    >& log.file 

The log.file shows it called configure first with those arguments and
the results of configure were:

Configured for 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu'.

The build produced a "native-lisp" directory with lots of .eln files.

Starting emacs with "-nw -q" starts fine (and, thus, shows all my
problems are in my packages loaded by .emacs), but there are no
"native-" functions or variables loaded.
