Well, the unit is in the compiler directory, and is not meant for

It can only be in the compiler directory, otherwise it's
impossible to bootstrap the compiler (i.e. compile the compiler
the first time).
The RTL is always compiled before the compiler is, so the compiler
can use the "new" RTL.
It's not a good idea to make the compiler dependent on features not
available in the RTL of the previous release, as this can complicate
debugging quite a bit.
