Thanks.

Agreed.  It occurred to me that there are several places where we use
`mapcar` with a lists that's usually empty, and hence where the funcall
overhead is not necessarily negligible.

AFAIK the sample backtrace is only one among many others and the fact
that the missing element in the backtrace happened to be using `eval` is
circumstantial, so the addition of `eval` to
`native-comp-never-optimize-functions` just circumvents the problem for
`eval` but not for all the other C primitives we call directly.

IOW no, I don't think it fixes the bug :-(
