Thanks for the info, currently none of the emacs packages provides a
compressed 'autoloads' file.

Hm, OK.  I don't fully understand the issue though.  So *.el files of
'emacs-w3m-1.4.538+0.20141022' will be compressed, and some of these
*.el.gz files contain store file names.  Do these files fool GC?
If so, I think 'emacs-w3m' should be configured with
'--without-compress-install', right?
