No need to make bootstrap.  It should be enough just to restart Emacs.
So the problem is the need to restart Emacs every time after compilation.
Actually, not after every compilation, but I can't determine on what
condition this error depends.  This is a new regression appeared
in the last 2 weeks.  Before some recent change, there was no need
to restart Emacs after compilation.
