The first step is to verify that the system can bootstrap itself when
HiPE is enabled, i.e. that HiPE's runtime support doesn't break BEAM.
Do this by making a full build in a freshly unpacked Erlang/OTP source
tree to which you've applied whatever patches you need.

I assume you're working on the R11B-0 code base? If so, download
<http://www.it.uu.se/research/group/hipe/snapshots/tests-0514.tar.gz>,
unpack the tarball, cd into it, and run ./testsuite.sh <path to your OTP directory>.
If that works, you can then try ./testsuite.sh --only compiler_tests <path to OTP>.
