Oh, so you only split .el and .elc up while building, but they get installed into the same place? That's not so bad, though it is, eg, not something that Emacs supports in its own build process (in non-srcdir builds, .elc still get written into srcdir). BTW: ELCFLAGS=-lbytecomp is presumably another way to solve your issue, for any version of Emacs and automake (once bytecomp is loaded you can redefine functions as you wish).
