I think the issue is related, but different. In the original issue, the problem is the avalance of the compilation processes (AFAIU). My problem is that I do actually want to run the deferred compilation, but native compiler fails to do so at all, with a weird error of not being able to locate 'as' program. As a dirty hack, I tried to manually install binutils package, which includes 'as' program, but then Emacs fails with even more weird error. So I am not able to compile even a single file. > I have been unable to upgrade Guix due to this issue. In my case it > locks down my whole system with endless compilation processes. If you have a recent Emacs checkout, you can try to disable JIT native compiler by setting EMACS_INHIBIT_AUTOMATIC_NATIVE_COMPILATION environment variable. Check this issue: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=58429 > I wouldn't mind seeing native compilation disabled until upstream > improves the experience, but it's been decided that native compilation > is staying on.

On Arch linux I'd been using nativecomp Emacs like for about two years and never had an issue related to native compilaton. After switching to Guix, I've been using what is provided by default by emacs-next, which had '--with-native-compilation' disabled until recently. So to me, a more likely problem is in Guix packaging than in upstream Emacs.
