Argh.  That's not good.  I'll see if I can fix this, but Makefile hacking
is not my area of expertise, so it's worth someone else taking a look at
too.  I'll know in a half-hour or so whether I can reproduce this.

And I presume that this isn't just because you've upgraded ghc in the
meantime? That's caused most of the trouble which I've seen about
inconsistent interfaces, and I don't think it's really our bug.
