Comment (by amurrayc):

 The patch didn't do anything (although I only applied it and re-`make &&
 make install`-ed it. Should I have done a full `make clean && configure
 ...`?)

 However, LLVM 3.4 seems to work.  It at least produces
 {{{
 29.0
 }}}
 when fed
 {{{
 main = print (29.0 :: Float)
 }}}
