This is the right place!

I don’t think it is entirely unrelated, but there is a separate ticket
about this:
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10246
It even proposes a fix.

But if you want to be unblocked in implementing #11297, simply comment
out the assertion in Literal.hs (just for you), or compile without
-DDEBUG.

Right, but that is the point of #11297: The test case is tailored to 64
bit, and the task is to create a second test case with 32 bit numbers.



Greetings,
