Comment (by rwbarton):
A correction to the last bullet point in my previous comment: fixing
`GHC.Word.byteSwap{16,32}` actually *does* matter because a user program
built with `-O -fllvm` will inline those functions at the Haskell level,
and then the LLVM backend will generate the wrong code for the byte-swap
primop.
{{{
import GHC.Word
main = print $ byteSwap32 (0xaabbccdd :: Word32)
-- built with ghc -O -fllvm
-- expected output: 3721182122
-- actual output: -573785174
}}}
The cgrun072 test should test the `GHC.Word.byteSwap*` wrappers, too.
