 Bug is observed when building cpphs-1.19

 {{{#!hs
 module A where

 x */* y = 42
 }}}

 {{{
 $ ghc -fforce-recomp A -g
 [1 of 1] Compiling A                ( A.hs, A.o )
 /tmp/ghc23923_0/ghc_2.s: Assembler messages:

 /tmp/ghc23923_0/ghc_2.s:17:0:  Error: bad expression

 /tmp/ghc23923_0/ghc_2.s:17:0:
      Warning: missing operand; zero assumed
 ...
 }}}

 The problem here is the following assembly snippet:
 {{{
 .text
         .align 8
         .loc 1 3 1 /* */* */
         .quad   12884901911
         .quad   0
         .quad   15

 }}}

 Would it be worthwile using ';' as a comment instead?
 Don't know if it's universally portable.
