Confirmed on 32-bit Linux, confirmed also with perl6.pbc. The problem's not
in pbc_to_exe; it's in PCT, specifically HLLCompiler.
The attached patch fixes things. It's slightly quick and dirty. A better
solution is to clean up compile() further to handle adverb combinations.
However, this patch works.
