[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

It seems native-comp-async always store the *.eln files in to the ~/.emacs.d/eln-cache/.

We can switch the EMACSNATIVELOADPATH values to the head of native-comp-eln-load-path,
then the *.eln will be stored in EMACSNATIVELOADPATH.

This patch try to enable custom the eln cache directory.

$ export EMACSNATIVELOADPATH=/tmp/eln-cache
$ emacs 

B.R.

Could you elaborate why would you want to do this?

Yes, please.  because I'm not sure we want to support that.  In
general, EMACSNATIVELOADPATH is for "system" *.eln files, and only the
eln-cache directory is where the user-compiled *.eln files should
live.

I want custom the eln-cache path to be lib/emacs/28.0.60/native-lisp/.

Got your point, and I can workaround the request in my scenario.

Please help close this issue.

Thank you all.
