The change to delete --generate-prolog and --prolog-dialect should be undone.
They are not for executing Mercury programs directly with Prolog; they are
(or will be) for translating Mercury programs, including those using functions
etc, to Prolog. This may not be complete, but there removing it would be
counter-productive.

You also missed something that should be deleted: the code to build a SICStus
version of stage2 in tools/bootcheck.

Zoltan.
