When I install Emacs normally, I get subdirs.el but not subdirs.elc. IMVHO it makes no sense to byte-compile this file: it is too short. One solution would be to byte-compile the file anyway, or perhaps to copy the subdirs.el file into every directory in load-path, even if that directory only contains *.elc files. Kai
