 Building git HEAD on powerpc-linux I get:

 {{{
 "inplace/bin/genprimopcode" --data-decl  <
 compiler/stage1/build/primops.txt
                > compiler/stage1/build/primop-data-decl.hs-incl
 genprimopcode: parse error at "Parse error at line 42, column 8"
 }}}

 If I look at line 42 of `compiler/stage1/build/primops.txt` I see:

 {{{
 -- SCALAR_TYPE is the scalar type used to inject to/project from
  vector
 }}}

 The word "vector" from the comment got wrapped onto the next line for no
 good reason.

 I've checked the file `compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp` which is processed
 to generate the file I'm having problems with and that file is fine.

 I've cloned a new copy of the repo and done the usual `perl boot &&
 ./configure && make` only to see exactly the same result.
