Because is not an option to ask to do that to all your users when you're
providing an alternative runtime. The -defaultlib as it is, is useless.

And I don't see the complexity in this, is just changing the -defaultlib flag
really, and making the compiler really agnostic about the implementation
details of the runtime.
