Subject: 27.1.90; files loaded with -l flag does not use file-truename as
 required by eval-after-load

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Consider:

emacs -nw -Q -batch -L "`pwd`" -l test.el

if the test.el file above is in a non-true path, e.g. a parent dir is a
symlink, and test.el has an eval-after-load for itself, the eval-after-load
form will not be evaluated, the reason is that startup.el does not usefile-truename while loading file, the change below solved the issue:

-  (file-ex (expand-file-name file)))
+  (file-ex (file-truename (expand-file-name file))))
