Thank you! But I was overoptimistic... I forgot that it was still linked 
to the Kotlin 2.0.20 bootstrap JARs and a Gradle plugin from the 
previous released version. I realized that only while working on the 
list of JARs that need to be symlinked. Switching to the same-version 
Gradle plugin was rather easy, but switching the whole remainder of the 
Kotlin stack at once to the ancient 1.3.31+1.3.50 APIs is going to be a 
whole other story if possible at all. It felt too easy last week ... and 
it was ^ ^.

So now I'm back to build failures in early configuration stages, trying 
to figure out how to configure the whole thing so the bootstrap gradle 
(from upstream, thus unpatched) still finds the Kotlin 2.0.20 that makes 
it happy, but builds a gradle that uses our Frankenkotlin. And then try 
make that one work (or limp) enough to rebuild both itself and a Kotlin 
2+.

Cheers,
