There's nothing special about byte-compiling files during a build;
Emacs doesn't know it is doing that as part of building itself.

Moreover, building a release tarball doesn't require byte-compiling
any files, because all of them already come byte-compiled in the
tarball.  So this problem can only happen when building development
snapshots, and people who do that are supposed to have a working
development environment.

So I don't think we should disable ACLs while building Emacs.
