Leaves the question: Can the RTL (and packages) be build (and used 
afterwards) with -Cr ?

This was possible in the past and I remember that at some time (when 
that broke) bug reports about it were accepted and fixed.

However, if it can, then how? specifying -Cr for the make does no longer 
work, as it will also build the compiler.

Not important, hardly ever using it.
