 processes (MS Windows) 
Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022 14:35:57 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
On MS Windows systems, where the Emacs executable is typically not in the PATH, creating the async sub processes for the native compiler will fail because they are started in a random working directory. The included patch will inherit the working directory from the parent emacs process by setting default-directory before creating the sub process.
