[ Note: it's not a "path" but a "file name", according the GNU's
conventions. ]
Hmm... this results in too-long file names IMO, and the absolute file
name can change "gratuitously", making those eln files suddenly unusable.

I don't have a clear understanding of the problem this is trying to solve.
Could you summarize it?
If you're worried about how to delete old .eln files, I think there are
two problems: identifying which .elc files still exist and identifying
which Emacs binaries still exist.
But the first problem can arguably be solved by scanning the `load-path`,
collecting the .elc files we find there (and kind of GC algorithm
where `load-path` acts as the roots).
