bug#48743: 28.0.50; batch-native-compile should produce .elc files as well

[T.V Raman]

Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> writes:

As a simple example, say your package uses a defstruct defined using
cl-defstruct.
(cl-defstruct foo a b c )

Other files in the package use
functions generated by defstruct such as make-foo  and foo-a

At present, when jitted, those other files produce warnings at random
such as make-foo is not known to be defined.
