That's a really *bad* idea, no matter what. The *compiled* elisp is not
going to be the same across versions of the same fork, let alone between
them.

I can think of half a dozen times that odd crashes have been found by
people playing with Emacs, only to discover that "I compiled it with the
other fork"...

There isn't a binary compatibility standard between the versions.
Distributing Lisp in that form is ... odd, especially as it's not going
to actually help anyone.

So, what actual /problem/ are you trying to solve?
