If byte-compile-directory is available in all versions of Emacs, then I
could certainly use it in the Makefile.  Not sure if I can get to it
before the weekend, but I will try it out soon-ish.

I may be missing what the "org-macs.el issue" is, precisely.

With make (at least after "make clean") it's exactly the same thing.
What I don't understand is if package manager uses the already
customized load-path or the bog-standard one, like make does via
"emacs -Q".

That would depend on which one it finds first, hence the question of
what load-path looks like at that point.
