Package: emacs
Version: 27.0.50
Severity: minor

Master at revision 2860f6cec5. If I run

emacs -Q --no-build-details

then (system-name) returns nil. I expect this switch to only affect the
values stored in the Emacs binary, not the run-time result.

I'm also not sure why --no-build-details is a run-time option (as
opposed to a build-time one).

Anyway, this breaks file-locking (cf bug#34355) and makes it impossible
to save a file.
