GHC 6.4.2 on OS X

Hello,

I am wondering if the following patch (or equivalent) made it into  
GHC 6.4.2. I was hoping it would fix my problem:

> mjollnir ~/src/ghc/ghc-6.4.2$ ghci `hbdd-config --cudd-libs`
>    ___         ___ _

It is a problem with GCC 4.0 and GHCi - GHC works fine.

> mjollnir ~/src/ghc/ghc-6.4.2$ gcc --version

Can you give me some idea how to fix it? (The use of fprintf is  
inessential for my purposes but I'd prefer not to hack the C library  
too much.)

cheers
