Actually unloading a native compilation unit is such an unfrequent operation
that all that finish_delayed_disposal_of_comp_units() does is compare a pointer
to NULL. It will not slowdown the GC at all.
Anyway, I could change this to run on an idle timer or just handle it when Emacs
closes. Which do you prefer?

Correct.
