[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
One more detail, the internal variable comp-abi-hash, which from which
comp-native-version-dir is derived, should be unique even with the same
Emacs source code compiled across architectures so I don't think you need
to differentiate by architecture either.  I do it for my own preferences,
as it's easier to clear out the ones I want to clear by eye, vs running
/usr/bin/file on the files to see which are which.
