In fact, I'm not even saying that, because for a single, simple foo.el
compiling it in a running Emacs is probably fine. I'm just saying that
if I were compiling something as complex as cc-mode, I'd definitely do
it in batch-mode, and would not try to support the case where an older
cc-mode is already loaded in the compiling Emacs.
