bug#81223: [PATCH] Fix file-missing error during async native compilation

I checked the Emacs git log, and many recent commit messages
are quite long (including those written by the maintainers
themselves). What is the actual standard here? A standard
should apply to everyone equally.

While standards and conventions are important, excessive
criticism can make contributors hesitate to submit patches.

This feels like nitpicking.
