I now get this behaviour:

$ emacs-native-comp -Q
emacs: could not resolve realpath of "emacs-native-comp": No such file or directory

$ ls -l `which emacs-native-comp`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 phil phil 48 Apr 14 00:01 /home/phil/bin/emacs-native-comp -> /home/phil/emacs/native-comp/usr/local/bin/emacs

$ /home/phil/emacs/native-comp/usr/local/bin/emacs --version
