Missing functions in GHC's RTS?

OK, so I don't know what they are, but the link needs the _stub.o file. 
Unfortunately, the stub file includes these symbols:

rts_getWord8
rts_getWord16
rts_getInt16
rts_getInt64

...which do not appear to be in any library and indeed are not declared 
in RtsAPI.h, although corresponding rts_mk* functions are. This looks 
like a bug in GHC.
