If we load only *.el files into bootstrap-emacs, then bootstrap-emacs
will be much slower.  And since it is used to compile many Lisp files,
the net effect will be to make the build (not just bootstrap, but
_every_ build) slower.  This is a serious disadvantage from where I
stand.  So I hope we can find a better way of fixing this.  Especially
since the problem seems to be marginal and rare, so punishing everyone
because of it doesn't sound TRT to me.
