Currently `check-ppr` is built during the compiler build and used by the
testsuite in the pretty-printer tests. In a source checkout this is fine,
however this arrangement blows up in the case of a binary distribution as
we don't (and probably shouldn't) ship the `check-ppr` binary in the
bindist.
I think the most reasonable way to deal with this is to instead ship the
`check-ppr` source (perhaps in the testsuite tarball) and build it as a
dependency of the testsuite. Ideally we would build the executable once
and use it for each of the ppr tests.
