Thanks, I’m debugging the new ABI and so I need to see the exact compiler 
invocation to fix compiler bugs.  I am now in a state where I have as many 
-base tests passing with the new ABI as with the old (just in time to head out 
to a wine tasting in college!), up from about 2,000 more failures this morning. 
 I have only one big change and a few small ones as old ones left to do, and 
then a lot of code cleanup and finish documenting the ABI.  

-base is broken in all sorts of exciting ways if extended type encodings leak 
into places that expect traditional ones (I have fixes for most of them, but 
fixing the runtime to not leak them is probably better!).
