Right, ec12cdd197 does that, in case we'll find a more elegant way for
the future I'll clean this up.

Mmhh no, not really.  These native compilations are triggered from the
"comp-tests.el" top-level but they should still obey to
`comp-eln-load-path' that we set earlier.

On my system these are create in the temporary dir, I'll think about but
we may need to debug this it sounds strange.
