Possible. But one needs to be aware, that this removes testcases. Namely
all non-C compilers. The testcase being, that stage1 and stage2 cc
compile them the same. I _did_ hit compare difference in only cp/* in the
past. If non-C wouldn't have been included, I hadn't, and instead had a
silent miscompilation elsewhere. I.e. that non-C currently is compared
did help me.
Ciao,
