I have been working on creating the WIndows binary distributions for
Emacs 29.3.  I typically make these using AOT native compilation (for
the benefit of users without libgccjit etc) however I'm not able to
get that to happen using the emacs-29.3 release tarball.

This is my configure + build formula:

./configure --with-modules --without-dbus
--with-native-compilation=aot --without-compress-install
--with-sqlite3 --with-tree-sitter CFLAGS=-O2 && make install V=1 -j 20
NATIVE_FULL_AOT=1 prefix=/rel/build/emacs-29.3 2>&1 | tee
../emacs-29.3_1.log

But I see relatively few ELN files:

  $ (cd /rel/build/emacs-29.3; find ./ -name '*.eln' | wc -l)
  155

Compare this with the number of ELN files when I build the emacs-29
branch from git (using ./configac && configure && make, rather than a
tarball provided configure script).

  $ (cd $( ls -1trd /h/install/emacs-30* | tail -1 ); find ./ -name
'*.eln' | wc -l)
  1589

Can you see something I'm doing wrong, or might there be a problem
here which prevents with-native-compilation=aot from doing it's thing
for a build from a release tarball?
