I see, yeah than I defently agree we need to support loading comp.el
also on a non native compiled Emacs.

BTW, now that we have sympol positions, I'd like to extend comp.el for
compile time analysis/diagnostic and this should be useful to all Emacs
confs, so before or later loading (but also using) comp on all confs is
probably something we might want to do.
