Right, that's where I got the idea from that loading nadvice first might
help.

What Stefan said about the different behaviour when some files are
compiled and others are not, is, I guess, what I see here. Sometimes
things work, sometimes they don't. Eli's attempt to reproduce the
problem also shows that, I think. Hence my thought if it wouldn't be an
idea to ignore .elcs when dumping bootstrap-emacs.pdmp. It doesn't help
with circular dependencies, but at least it is easier to reproduce when
it happens.
