It should be, that's the point of this work!

It would be foolish of me to turn down somebody willing to wade through
my half-baked mess. Keep in mind that it's very rough and pulls in a
binary blob (lang/ghc/files/libHSrts_thr.a) which I lifted from one of
the old ghc-8.6.4 packages (pending bootstrap re-build). You will be
running some serious monstrosity...

Thanks
Greg
