Did it work with earlier RCs?

Does comlib get wired into the compiler at all? I had a similar problem
with base, where the compiler had the package name wired in:
    compiler/main/PackageConfig.hs:
    basePackageId      = fsToPackageId FSLIT("base")
but cabal was building it with
    -package-name base-2.0
To solve it I put
    -package-name base
in ghc-options in the cabal file.
