Subject: 28.0.50; [native-comp] compilation very slow
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 13:24:56 +0100

After starting a new instance of Emacs with an empty eln-cache,
producing .eln files takes a long time. Any typical file takes more than
five minutes, with some files (like lsp-protocol.el, right now)
approaching two hours. Memory consumption is reasonable (155 MB for the
process that is compiling lsp-protocol.el, about 60 MB for a typical
compilation process).

Right now, after 9 hours, there are 272 .eln files in the cache.

The machine is a high-end desktop from 2015 and has dozens of GB of free
memory and remains perfectly responsible, this is not the problem about
excessive memory use that was reported previously. There is no other
significant CPU activity.

There are no nativecomp-related customizations on my config.

This is behaviour is unexpected, but is kind of hard if not impossible
to guess the issue from here.

I guess both Emacs and and libgccjit are not debug build correct?

The build was performed with

../emacs/configure --without-toolkit-scroll-bars --with-x-toolkit=lucid --with-modules --without-imagemagick --with-nativecomp && make -j8

libgccjit was installed from Debian's package (gcc 10.2.1-6):

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       40 ene 10 12:35 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10/libgccjit.so -> ../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libgccjit.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       18 ene 10 12:35 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgccjit.so.0 -> libgccjit.so.0.0.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26103760 ene 10 12:35 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgccjit.so.0.0.1

Even supposing that libgccjit was built by mistake on debug mode, I
guess that it would not take so much time to compile an .eln.

I'll try building gccemacs from a pristine checkout on a few days. Let's
see if the problem persists.

After `git pull' and a clean build, the problems seems gone. Closing.
