Hmm... I'm not sure we can resolve this in any other way, although we
should try.  What worked for you with previous versions was just a
side effect of the implementation detail: how Emacs finds the files it
needs when it starts.  The *.eln files bring more restrictions to the
table, and it could very well be that the symlink trick will be the
only practical solution to such a non-standard installation.

A possible solution is to set EMACSNATIVELOADPATH in the environment.

Alternatively, you could modify your Emacs to look in the correct
directory by default.
