Reported here: https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el/issues/697

I believe the issue is that in the case that the version changes, the
throw works and the catch works. However, immediately after that, they
byte-compile straight.el and then attempt to load the elc. However,
because there's an eln, the eln is preferred and it throws again
because it wasn't rebuilt. If I rebuild the eln as well, it works as
expected.

https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el/blob/2d407bccd9378f1d5218f8ba2ae85c6be73fbaf1/bootstrap.el#L62-L65

Would it make sense to somehow invalidate the eln if the elc is
recompiled on the emacs side? Or should straight detect native-compile
and run it as well as byte-compile-file in this scenario?

Thanks,

Aaron
