Is 'native-elisp-load' always called from 'load'?  If so, we could
make it return some special value to signal that fallback is in order,
and then modify 'load' to proceed with loading *.el/*.elc file in that
case.

We could log a message in *Messages* about this, so that the fallback
could be discovered.
