kdist isn't as flexible as makefile

[Stevengre]

1. kdist does not support all kompile options.
2. Errors from kdist related to kompile are complex and not displayed.

[ehildenb]

• Which options from kompile do you need that kdist does not expose? We chose to only expose options "as needed", because we didn't want to expose all the options that weren't actually used by users.
• Can you provide an example of this? I guess that can be improved by adding --verbose, for example.

[Stevengre]

• --bison-stack-max-depth does not expose.
• A simplest example might be this one. The kompile will return an error report for this, but the kdist wouldn't.
