Hello,

I just noticed that the Guix manual at
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html>, in section 2.6.5, says:

Note: Emacs can now compile packages natively. Under the default
configuration, this means that Emacs packages will now be
just-in-time (JIT) compiled as you use them, and the results stored
in a subdirectory of your user-emacs-directory.

Furthermore, the build system for Emacs packages transparently
supports native compilation, but note, that emacs-minimal—the default
Emacs for building packages—has been configured without native
compilation. To natively compile your emacs packages ahead of time,
use a transformation like --with-input=emacs-minimal=emacs.

Given the patch that disables such JIT compilation, discussed in bug#71725, seems to disable that, it would seem that this section in the manual should be updated accordingly. (Or, ideally, that behavior would be restored for packages installed outside of Guix, but that's what bug#71725 is about.)

Thanks,
Adam
