I don't think this can fly.  "make FOOdir=FOO" is a paradigm for
installing parts of Emacs in specified directories without rebuilding.

I think if we want to support this, the PATH_REL_LOADSEARCH trick is
incorrect: we need to look for native-lisp directory relative to
PATH_LOADSEARCH, i.e. relative to where the Lisp files are installed.
Is this possible?  The part that worries me is that we need to find
these *.eln files very early during the process of restoring from the
pdumper file, where we don't yet have all the directories handy.
