The patch looks good - please apply it.

I tried building with the patch applied to a clean tree, and the
resulting emacs runs without the filename mismatch messages, and did not
recompile the AOT files into the per-user eln-cache.

There were also a couple of errors in the build:

Backtrace:

C:/emacs/git/emacs/native/src/alloc.c:3160: Emacs fatal error: assertion failed: cu->handle
make[2]: *** [Makefile:319: progmodes/antlr-mode.elc] Error 3

The backtrace addresses did not give anything useful from addr2line.

There are still some elisp files that did not get native compiled when
the build was done with "make -j8 NATIVE_FULL_AOT=1", and so get async
compiled when running the built emacs:

  ansi-color auth_source byte-opt bytecomp cconv cl-extra cl-lib cl-macs
  cl-seq comint comp comp-cstr cus-edit cus-start desktop
  display-fill-column-indicator easy-mmode easymenu edmacro eieio
  eieio-core frameset gv help-mode hl-line image-file info json kmacro
  map minibuf-eldef package paren password-cache pcase pp ring rx seq
  subr-x time-date warnings wid-edit

That may be a result of the error during the build.
