I have no idea how this is related - I mention it because it's the
only place where I think the process I've followed is likely to be
different from what you expected.

As to your assertion that you don't need to run make clean to have ELN
files created, I can only restate this appeared to be necessary for me
(even when I tried adding NATIVE_FULL_AOT=1 to make I didn't get any
ELN files created at all).   I'm running a fresh build from the 28.1
source tarball now and I'll share some detail from logs of that.
