Could the new dynamic loading feature be used here so it wouldn't be necessary

It might be doable, though I expect it'd be more work. Dynamic loading purposely isolates modules from Emacs internals, and most likely we'd need several bridges over that moat.

I find it disturbing that a C compiler will be needed to redump Emacs.
