This is awesome. Please check this in. I'm happy to see this kind
of compat symbol testing framework go in!

OK. Wow. To be honest I was surprised this was
possible. We've always talked about using prebuilt binaries for
testing, but using this to call the compat symbol seems like a
perfect solution for now and much easier. Perhaps we'll never need
anything more.
