I think you can prevent native-compilation entirely by setting no-
native-compile to t in your early-init.el (I'm playing with the idea of
doing this anyway, because I'm annoyed by the clutter that falls
through the cracks).  That being said, this looks like a real breakage
in the emacs-ido-completing-read package, does it not?  Should we add
"no-native-compile" to some local variables?

WDYT?
