I've tracked this down as far as PrelNum.hs in GHC's library. That is,
gcc-2.95 is either miscompiling this module, or we're making some bogus
assumption in the C code. I haven't narrowed down the exact instruction
sequence which is wrong yet.
More info as I find it. In the meantime, avoid gcc 2.95 if you want
anything to work.
Cheers,
