I don't understand what you mean with "does not stop dumping error".

Anyway, cc-fix.el only contains fixes for bugs and lacking features in
older (X)Emacsen. It ought not be necessary in current versions, so
it's interesting to know why it's loaded. Could you find out which of
the conditions that trigs the loading?

Sorry, this won't work since require loads anything in the load path
while cc-load loads files in the same directory. That's to ensure
robust compilation when there are older versions of CC Mode in the
load path and the one being compiled isn't.
