Case of rogue compiler -- passes on solutions (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remedies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'solutions' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'case of rogue compiler passes' is the wordplay.
'case of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (outsides of).
'compiler' becomes 'me' (the person who is writing these clues).
'passes' becomes 'dies' (I've seen this in another clue).
'rogue' with its middle taken out is 're'.
're'+'me'+'dies'='REMEDIES'

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for remedies that I've seen before include "Cures and corrections" , "repairs" , "drugs?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
