I usually have multiple Emacs versions on my HD.  I install the latest
build in a temp directory, test it there and then move the entire layout
over the old version with emacs/bin directory in my $PATH.  I don't
fiddle with the files installed by Emacs.

I thought this is a documented way to install Emacs?[1]

Sorry, my bad :-(

I did "emacs -Q", opened a .tex file (without AUCTeX to get Emacs'
tex-mode) and did 'M-x reftex-mode RET' there.  Emacs doesn't
native-compile anything into ~/.emacs.d/eln-cache/.

Best, Arash
