Of course we control what files are compiled (and installed) via the "EL" and "ELC" variables.

I see the point why the "|| :" is there. However, the problem for Gentoo as a source-based distribution is that our users report bugs to us if they see such errors. ;-) So we must make some additional effort to avoid them.
