If I load ratio and type 2^3%5 into Hugs I get 8 % 5 as
I'd expect.
If I do the same for ghci, I get an error message, because
it's parsed it as 2^(3%5). Prelude Ratio ought to have
infixl 7 %
(or maybe it should be in GHC.Real), but I can't find it (in either)
Fixed, thanks.

With the files in the attached archive unpacked:
ghc hw5.c TestHW5.hs -ffi -package posix -o hw5 -Wall
./hw5
However the only difference between the two is that the C function
called by TestHW.hs has 6 arguments of type Fd, while that called by
TestHW5.hs has only 5.
Quick thing to try to see if it helps:
It's possible that the problem is only affecting one of GHC's code
generators so you might
