I mean that bytecomp.el would generate a file in a format which pdumper can use (which has various consequences, such as the fact that .elc files aren't portable any more).
The format could be easy for pdumper to use but still be portable. For example, the pdumper format could use 64-bit little-endian representation for Lisp_Object values, even on platforms with 32-bit or big-endian Lisp_Objects. Although this would complicate the pdumper and slow it down on platforms where the native format doesn't match the pdumper representation, the pdumper would still be significantly faster than lread.c.
