Re: Emacs:Native-Comp Backtrace

Here is some more info based on a work-around:

Conjecture: native-comp has issues with with-eval-after-load and
friends:

The following setup produced the afore-mentioned error:

1. In the emacs startup, load dired-x when dired is loaded:
   (with-eval-after-load "dired" (require 'dired-x))
   2. dired-mode-hook contains dired-omit-mode defined in dired-x
3. During startup, a dired buffer is opened -- either via psession,
   desktop or some other means

   With the above, you get the error (symbol's function definition is
   void: dired-omit-mode)

   Fix: If in the startup file, you remove the with-eval-after-load and
   simply require dired-x, then it works.

   Additional info which lends credence to the conjecture:

   Emacspeak loads module-specific code using eval-after-load e.g. when
   "ido" is loaded, it loads emacspeak-ido after ido is done loading. In
   native-comp emacs, I find that (featurep 'emacspeak-ido) is nil after
   ido is loaded.

   I suspect use-package may also  be affected in  a similar way.
