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

Hello,

I recently observed that batch-byte-recompile-directory no more
recompile .el files newer than their .elc file.

Here is the shell command I use:

emacs -batch --no-init-file --no-site-file --eval "(setq load-path [my
load path])" -f batch-byte-recompile-directory .

After some investigation, I found that commit
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=8638aace3fbe01529f33870f469fa60bf5e43ee7
could be the culprit.

The attached patch fixed the above commit and solved the issue for me.

Thanks
