Could you give a definitive list?

Otherwise, "several" to me doesn't sound like "most".  I can plausibly
imagine distributions such as Arch doing so, but not much more aside
from that.

Some distributions will probably have separate packages (like what we
have with distributions shipping emacs, emacs-lucid, and emacs-nox) for
native compilation, but I cannot imagine it becoming the default.

Thanks.
