Comment (by jstolarek):

 > I don't know what %MO_S_Le_W64(R5, 0) is

 MO = Machine Operation
 S = Signed
 Le = less-equal
 W64 = 64-bit word

 It's a !PrimOp (ie. a built-in machine operation) that checks whether R5
 is less or equal to 0.

 > Could it be that ​another patch interacts badly with stg_gc_fun?

 I believe this patch should be irrelevant.
