Comment (by simonmar):
While I'm happy that you've tracked down the problem, I don't fully
understand your explanation.
The compat library is linked into the stage1 compiler, and hence it should
be compiled by the same compiler you use to build stage1, i.e. the
"bootstrap compiler". compat isn't linked into any program that the
stage1 compiler builds, including `arith003`. So I'm not sure how the
compat library could contribute to this problem you observed.
The only reason to rebuild compat after building stage1, is in order to
build the programs in `utils/` using the stage1 compiler, and in fact we
do this when building distributions (see the `binary-dist` target in the
top-level `Makefile`).
