Are you sure? I was 99% sure that ROTDs have always been packaged with<br>
the resulting C files already built. I've been using them to bootstrap<br>
a Mercury toolchain on systems without an existing Mercury compiler<br>
for years now, and they've been extremely useful for that since<br>
otherwise I would need to build multiple intermediate toolchains to<br>
get from release to trunk.<br>
