That's not enough, you have the same problem with
erc-with-all-buffers-of-server.  Basically what the autoload of erc-log
used to achieve was to load erc early enough so that the remaining macro
uses are known to the byte compiler (and that autoload is useless now
that erc-log isn't a macro any more).  Unfortunately there is a circular
dependency between erc and erc-backend, so we cannot just require erc
early.  When I try (eval-when-compile (provide 'erc-backend) (require
'erc)) I get a lot of "might not be defined at runtime" warnings, but
all macros are expanded (including the erc-log defsubst).  Not sure
what's the lesser poison.

Andreas.
