If there was a simple constructive answer to this, we'd do
it automatically.  But as of now, the best I can come up with is:
when "make" doesn't work but "make bootstrap" does; which probably
doesn't help you much.

PS: In your particular case, the issue is that cconv.el uses a new
feature in pcase.el, so removing pcase.elc and then "make" will help.
IIRC you'll bump into a few more problems after that, but removing
a few more .elc files (byte-opt, bytecomp, subr) and src/bootstrap
can get you over the hump.
