native-comp write path?

[Yuri D'Elia]

Is there a way to customize the place where user's elc-cache is
_written_ to?

I'd like to move the directory inside the XDG_CACHE hierarchy without
using symlinks.

I tried to change native-comp-eln-load-path inside early-init, but if I
inspect the value after starting emacs I see that the default value is
_prepended_ to my preferred directory:

native-comp-eln-load-path
("/h/y/.config/emacs/eln-cache/" "/h/y/.cache/emacs/eln-cache/")

I had the impression that this used to work up until recently.
