That's too late: the first stage of bootstrap loads the preloaded
files as *.el.

Besides, relying on byte-compiler warnings for this stuff is not a
very efficient idea: since the bootstrap takes several minutes on even
a fast machine, people usually turn their attention to other places
and tasks while the build runs, and so will miss the warning.
