[bug#67260] [PATCH v6 1/7] gnu: emacs: Wrap EMACSNATIVELOADPATH.

[Suhail via Guix-patches via <guix-patches@gnu.org>]

I'm assuming you're able to reproduce the issue on your end as well with
other features like prog-mode, backquote etc.

Interesting.  I did a grep of the Emacs source (branch emacs-29) and
line 1770 of src/lread.c (in maybe_swap_for_eln) seemed relevant:

>   /* Look also in preloaded subfolder of the last entry in

What surprised me was that not only was the "preloaded" directory
special-cased, but so too was the last entry of "comp-eln-load-path"
(which I imagine is referring to native-comp-eln-load-path).  Judging by
your message, I'm guessing you're well aware of this.  I, unfortunately,
have no additional insights or suggestions.

However, given that ensuring Emacs is able to find the natively-compiled
version of files seems non-trivial, it might help for a future patch
series to be accompanied with tests.  Thoughts?
