No, this completely fails to address the problem. The concern is
that the extension has been compiled under USE_ASSERT_CHECKING,
so it will try to call the function. If the function's not there
in core, kaboom.
What you need to do is provide an empty no-op version of
verify_compact_attribute() in non-assert builds.
