Yeah. Not ideal.
The whole system with emacs -Q putting things into .emacs.d is not ideal.
Sometimes, when running things like make test we do not even want to
litter .emacs.d - .eln files generated during make test might correspond
to the broken versions of Org mode that were being tested. Then, running
actual working Emacs session might stumble upon these incorrect versions
of .eln files.
Do I understand correctly that the reason you implemented cleaneln make
target is working around issues with make test/make repro?
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.
