Comment (by rwbarton):

 I think it's okay for `divInt` by 0 to be undefined behavior, it's an
 undocumented, internal function used to define `div`, which does check
 whether the divisor is 0.

 I would suggest disabling the test when the LLVM backend is in use, like
 in the test above it `derefnull`. In fact I think even on x86_64 Linux
 with LLVM it works only due to the luck that `divInt#` is too large to
 inline; if I call `quotInt#` directly from the test, it prints some large
 number instead.
