bug#69201: Emacs master-branch renamed comp-write-bytecode-file which emacs-utils depends on

[Mekeor Melire]

On Emacs' master-branch, the emacs-lisp function
comp-write-bytecode-file has been renamed to comp--write-bytecode-file
(i.e. to include a double dash) in this commit [1]:

    Rename a number of native compiler functions

Guix' function emacs-compile-directory from module (guix build
emacs-utils) [2] depends on this emacs-lisp function.

Thus, when emacs-next-minimal is build from the above mentioned commit
or later, it won't be possible to build packages that use
emacs-build-system, when using
--with-input=emacs-minimal=emacs-next-minimal, or in Guile code,
argument "#:emacs emacs-next-minimal". This might be considered to be a
minor issue as of right now.

It'll become a more general problem, when Emacs 30 is released.

Thanks for the heads-up.  Assuming the calling convention stays the
same, this should be easy to work around (using fboundp and resolving
to the right symbol).  Unfortunately, I have other work to experiment
on emacs-team right now, so if you find this pressing, I encourage you
to submit your own patch (against emacs-team, for the particular
procedure in emacs-utils).

Cheers
