Thank you, Eelco, this helps my overall workflow considerably.  I like to keep
up-to-date with master often so I can test/push small changes, but since
really testing a change means updating with --leq, a large destabilizing
change to stdenv can wipe out my ability to test the small stuff for a day or
more.
