native-comp and resetting of search paths

[Alex Bennée]

Hi Andrea, Jorgen,

I just thought I'd give you a heads up on a potential clash between
native-comp's background compilation and elpy. In essence native-comp
changes the value of elpy-rpc-pythonpath from:

  "/home/alex/.emacs.d/elpa/elpy-20200527.2021/"

To:

  
"/home/alex/.emacs.d/elpa/elpy-20200527.2021/eln-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-93d8fa3f77c8fe62/"

which is fine for the .elc -> .eln change but because elpy also uses
this to find the python server in .emacs.d/elpa/elpy-20200527.2021/elpy/
it gets very confused.

What was the rationale behind this change? I can see it makes sense to
tweak load-path but generally I would expect variables belonging to
packages to remain untouched.

Is this a recent change? it only seemed to break in the last week.
