 Thus, the compiled code for @file{foo.el} goes in @file{foo.elc}.

+@vindex load-dangerous-libraries
+@cindex Lisp files byte-compiled by XEmacs
+  By default, Emacs refuses to load compiled Lisp files which weren't
+compiled with Emacs.  This is because an incompatible change was
+introduced into XEmacs' byte compiler, which could produce files with
+byte codes that cause Emacs to crash.  Set the variable
+@code{load-dangerous-libraries} to t if you want to change this
+behavior.
