Native-comp emacs can take a while to compile, especially if you're only using 1 core. Make sure you have customized MAKEFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf to use all your cores: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Parallel_compilation

This package builds with make NATIVE_FULL_AOT=1 by default, which native-compiles all the built-in Elisp. Edit the PKGBUILD, search for FAST_BOOT= and make it FAST_BOOT="YES" to get a shorter build time, at the cost of lazily native-compiling core Elisp at runtime.

I'm getting 

alloc.c:213: error: undefined reference to 'malloc_set_state'
alloc.c:238: error: undefined reference to 'malloc_get_state'

All dependencies are there. I'm looking where those would be defined and so far no luck.

@mars Yes, the last update to the PKGBUILD was to handle that change.

In the commit you linked, notice NATIVE_SKIP_NONDUMP is enabled by default unless NATIVE_FULL_AOT is set. We still mention NATIVE_FAST_BOOT in the PKGBUILD, but it's superfluous.

NATIVE_FAST_BOOT has been replaced by NATIVE_SKIP_NONDUMP, see https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/3c58403b0f9b732e045230ce34f1b5a8460630ac

@zackteo The "enhanced" package is not doing a NATIVE_FULL_AOT build, so it skips pre-compiling all the built-in Elisp (and thereby skipping your error). You can do the same by editing this PKGBUILD, search for FAST_BOOT= and change it to FAST_BOOT="YES".

Am getting the same error as @cenhpp , I did force a clean build but to no avail. Strangely, the emacs-native-comp-git-enhanced package worked for me ... but require this one which still uses X11 so that I can use EXWM

note that this will break magit (which is going to be a blocker for a lot of people) tracked at https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/4209#issuecomment-703217843

If starting the daemon via systemd service throws an error similar to this:

emacs[977939]: emacs: ../native-lisp/28.0.50-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-<many chars>/lisp-mode-<many chars>.eln: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then you can fix it by manually adding the following to /usr/lib/systemd/user/emacs.service (or whatever your service file is) under [Service]:

WorkingDirectory=/usr/lib/emacs/28.0.50/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/

Make sure the path /usr/lib/emacs/28.0.50/native-lisp/ exists. If it doesn't, then find the native-lisp path in your system and replace the parent directory of the path above with the path you found. Here's an fd command to find the path:

fd native-lisp /

I get the same issues as @cenhpp where compilation stops at progmodes/js.elc even after trying rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/emacs-native-comp-git/{src,pkg}. I came across this reddit thread and might try that instead.

The libgccjit package is now up-to-date, and includes a dependency on gcc-libs so that it won't silently break next time GCC is updated. I'm now maintaining that package and will do my best to handle updates ASAP.

I also recommend checking out emacs-pgtk-native-comp-git, this combines native compilation with a new rendering engine for an even faster Emacs.
