Subject: bug#7001: should `byte-compile-from-buffer' evaluate `binary-overwrite-mode' explicitly?

emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el

`byte-compile-from-buffer'

Has this form:

 (setq overwrite-mode 'overwrite-mode-binary)

Should this evalatate `binary-overwrite-mode'  from simple.el instead?

Or, is there a boostrapping issue which prevents this?
