Ihor, I am sorry, but I sent this message off-list at first.

I do not expect any result that may be useful for Emacs dev. I hope, the 
code added to emacs-29 branch fixes the issue. Outcome may be helpful 
for choosing better variant of `org-assert-version' and for demystifying 
causes why you can not reproduce it in gentoo.

I have not looked into make rules used in Emacs source tree, but I 
expect it is another issue. I do not like that elisp can not generate 
list of dependencies during compilation similar to "gcc -MD". Otherwise 
I do not see a way to implement incremental rebuild if stale .elc files 
are preferred to updated .el sources by `require'.

What changes are you writing about? I mean 
`package--reload-previously-loaded' 
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=59882#71

9dfd945a2c2 2021-11-07 01:28:47 +0100 dickmao: Fix byte compilation of 
package built-ins

and I do not see similar changes even in Emacs-28.
