All of these experiments are done from a clean tree after "git clean
-xdf", and after removing ~/.emacs.d/eln-cache/*.

Also a following obsrvation from this:

a) Initially, the AOT bootstrap creates:
   <build-dir>/native-lisp/28.0.50-e2ae3598/hl-line-8fa29c14-664ef650.eln

b) Running <build-dir>/src/emacs complains about:
   <user-emacs-dir>/eln-cache/28.0.50-e2ae3598/hl-line-e67628ec-664ef650.eln

c) The running emacs then builds:
   ~/.emacs.d/eln-cache/28.0.50-e2ae3598/hl-line-8fa29c14-664ef650.eln

The files (a) and (c) have the same filename, but different sizes and
content.
