Of course, if you start copying that dir into the image, there's no guarantee that the end user could conveniently re-run the build process in a compatible way. For that,...

Yeah, I'd be a bit wary of doing too much work to handle this special case. FWIW it's quite easy to use Nix locally to experiment with building a patched...

I'll probably enable native compilation on my HEAD builds in due course. I think modules are enabled by default?

I'm a little bit curious about what the perceived benefits would be of enabling native compilation by default in an emacs used for CI testing. From my perspective it complicates...

If there are any differences which are significant to ag.el, then why not just clone ag.el to pt.el? Adding a bunch of conditional code seems a bit messier IMO.

And a wgrep-pt.el, of course. ;-)

At first glance, that doesn't look as complete as `ag.el`.
