Comment (by Phyx-):

 Hi Simon,

 Thanks!, I was trying to find it by looking at commits that touched the
 `rts`, which that commit hadn't so I never considered it (and the
 codegen!).

 I think the mileage with bisect would depend on where you start, since
 cf989ffe490c146be4ed0fd7e0c00d3ff8fe1453 ,
 d068220f4249cce66ed5b6cc5504f79e7c8c0184 and
 cac3fb06f4b282eee21159c364c4d08e8fdedce9 all broke the build at one point
 and were fixed at different points.

 I didn't try it for this reason, but maybe I should have.

 I'll try building head again once I get home.
