Moot <http://www.dictionary.com/browse/moot> is not exactly the right word
(events have not placed the issue beyond the law).  Better would be

There is no "final compilation" with Apache source releases, therefore the
question of where that compilation occurs is not a valid question and thus
has no answer.
