OK.  What's a "sane cross-build"?  Running a new compiler in an old
host runtime is "saner" than running a new runtime in an old host
machine?

That appears to do nothing.

I cannot build master on 9.1.1 (again).  Is that no longer a priority?

I got an "unknown microcode-type: sequence" error, so I tried the
temporary "training" I put in cref/make.scm before, but the build just
dies later on with an "Anomalous microcode error unassigned-variable
-- get a wizard." error while trying to compile optiondb.bin.

All these errors look familiar, but you did not like my solution,
so... I await enlightenment.
