I don't think this is quite that bad. There's a similar issue in many
GNU packages with config.h files produced by a configure script, and
the solution there is to output the new version into a temporary file
and use move-if-change to replace the original file. We could do the
same with bytecomp.elc, and that would solve the above problem.

Sounds like a good plan to me.
