That's what I figured.  So, we're between the proverbial devil and the
deep blue sea: we can't easily test -fnew-abi without making some
changes in the version used with the compiler, and we can't easily
upgrade that version.  So, we'll have to make the changes, and merge
later, I think.

Fortunately, the changes are relatively minimal: almost no code --
just a few changes in structure definitions and in a few macros.
