Hopefully not with so many debugging messages left in fdmake.pl...

Also, I'm not yet convinced that the changes to the bootstrapping
methodology will handle the usual bootstrapping use case, namely changes
to the interface between the compiler and the runtime.  I'll do some
experiments on my <extended-integer> development sources to make sure
it's possible to build it with the patched sources.  Please hold off
until then.  (Feel free to commit the runtime changes, though I don't
understand at why they're necessary. )
