Agree.  So far the only way I see to remove this directory dualism is
what you have proposed here:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-06/msg00050.html

Given I think we should solve this source of problems once for all the
more time is passing the more I'm getting convinced that this is the way
to go.

Still I've to make up my mind on certain details but probably I should
start implementing to get a cleaner view.

This choice is key for making the native compiler project succeed or not
(and interestly enough has nothing to do with the compiler it-self), so
please if you have ideas on the topic don't esitate to share them :)
