Yes, the test HUGS_TRY_DYNLINK("-shared") is failing.

Please try running the attached script, which is the test this is using.

You can work around this one by adding an empty Bits instance

instance Bits Int64

to libraries/Hugs/Int.hs -- it shouldn't be needed, but a future release
will have a real instance.  While you're at it, might as well add

instance Bits Word64

to libraries/Hugs/Word.hs just in case.
