M-x byte-compile-file RET eudc-bbdb.el RET

But bbdb is not part of Emacs, and so the eudc-bbdb library which
depends on it is definitely abnormal. eudc-bbdb.el does try to do the
right thing:
(require 'eudc)
(if (not (featurep 'bbdb))
(load-library "bbdb"))
(if (not (featurep 'bbdb-com))
(load-library "bbdb-com"))
but the Lisp files in the Emacs distribution are presumably compiled
without any add-on libraries available. I think if those were changed
to the conventional usage:
(require 'eudc)
(require 'bbdb)
(require 'bbdb-com)
then eudc-bbdb.el would fail to compile in a bare Emacs, so a bogus
eudc-bbdb.elc would not be distributed. As long as Emacs can be built
without every .el file being successfully compiled, that would be fine.
