Comment (by osa1):

 As far as I can see WAY only effects the arguments passed to GHC, so it
 doesn't help unless we do some refactoring in the test driver, and the
 test driver is ... messy.

 Can we do this with less amount of work by adding a new field to
 `testglobals.TestOptions`, something like `stage`, and then in
 `testlib.simple_build()` we check the option and override `compiler`
 variable?
