bug#45376: 28.0.50; [Feature/Native-Comp] strange `ls` output in eshell loaded from eln

[address@hidden]

Hi Andrea,

I can confirm that this issue is resolved by commit ffcd490cb4 on the following 
platforms (all using GCC 10.2):

Linux (Debian testing) Amd64 and Arm64
FreeBSD 12.2 Amd64, gcc build from ports
Windows/Msys2 as 2020-12-16

I believe we can close this bug now.

Thanks,
Gong-Yi.
