Hi emacs,

  With the latest emacs lisp native compiler change
(https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=92ccb6ba83076a40f3bfc7906913346a5b3a7a92
and subsequent commits), there is a build error:

```
Error: void-function ("emacs-lisp/package.el" package-desc-p)
  mapbacktrace(#f(compiled-function (evald func args flags) #<bytecode
-0x1dc4ecf4b251797b>))

Symbol’s function definition is void: "emacs-lisp/package.el", package-desc-p
```

I built Emacs master branch with the latest commit
(https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=9ad997cd68981fe6c6933b6977fdae23e84e6a75),
enabled native-comp, on Linux.

HI,
I was going to suggest it. I have rebuilt emacs w/native today and it seems
to be stable.

Thanks! /PA
