This change breaks the deep profiling grades (and possibly also the
debugging ones).  There is a fundamental problem with the way the
bitmap type is defined.  It's a foreign type but (parts of) the runtime also
treat it as though it were a builtin type.

This is a problem because the runtime is now referring to entities that
are defined in the library.  The solution here is to make it either one
or the other.
