Comment:

 On second thought, this probably isn't a worthwhile endeavor. I forgot
 that when built with `quickest` setting, GHC compiles code without any
 optimizations at all, which means that the generated Core is necessarily
 going to be quite different on most test cases (not to mention the
 performance implications). Besides, there's a disclaimer on the `quickest`
 setting in `mk/build.mk` anyway, so if you try running the testsuite after
 knowingly choosing `quickest`, you get what you deserve :)
