Can you check and report file&date on all copies of gforth.el and
gforth.elc existing on your system (try 'locate gforth.el*')?

Do you still have a Ubuntu package installed that provides gforth.el?
I'd guess it automatically recompiles gforth.elc when the Ubuntu Emacs
package is upgraded.  Although that won't explain the warning you see.

To get an up-to-date version of gforth.elc matching the gforth.el that
came with your Gforth 7.2 source package, try doing a 'make clean &&
make && sudo make install' in the Gforth sources.  Does that fix the
problem?

Using a .elc file across different versions of Emacs sounds like a bad
idea anyways.  Maybe we should change Gforth to only install the .el
file to allow Emacs upgrades to be performed without side-effects?
