And the truly final word for the moment : ) —
I built a tool to partially automate the indentation workaround for LLVM
3.0 and it yields the same "co-processor offset out of range"/"unsupported
relocation on symbol LCPI65_0" errors LLVM 3.3/3.4 did when it finally gets
to integer-simple/GHC/Integer/Type.hs.
