Perhaps this is a bug in the RPM build script.  That is, now that
loaddefs files are compiled, it only copies over the .elc files to
rpmbuild/BUILD, and not the .el files, or something along those lines?

In any case, perhaps we should blacklist the loaddefs files from being
native-compiled?  It doesn't make much sense to native-compile them, I
think.  But I don't know whether we have any machinery to do that...
