Synopsis: making a base class visible fails without a precompile

Description

Making a base class (e.g. TUPLE) visible without using a base precompile leads to compilation errors on clean compilation:
Type has actual generic parameters, but base class is not generic (for Linear.for_all, Linear.there_exists and others in elks)

INTEGER_64 gives:
Type of manifest constant does not match declaration (for INTEGER_64_REF in elks)

To Reproduce

Having a project, change the settings before opening it:
- remove the precompile
- set TUPLE visible
now compile the project clean
