There was a subtle problem with the interrupt check determining code.

The old code was lazy about searching the rgraph to determine if entry
points and exit points were leaf-like.  It explored the whole tree
when when it found some entry RTL.  This is a problem in the case of
expressions since expressions have no distinguished entry RTL.  Thus
LAP was generated for some expression bblocks before the search took
place.  This is a problem because the LAP instructions replace the RTL
instructions, and the RTL is needed to determine the interrupt checks.

The whole compiler staged only because type-checking is turned off by
default.  The RINST-INSN field is a (vector-ref 0), which, when
unchecked, fortuitously happened to load the CDR of the LAP, which
then proceeded to gracefully fail the RTL predicates.
