Erik:
The VarHandles change introduced a new gensrc step that crashes when
using gnumake 3.81. Newer versions of make seem to handle the
construct in that file. I have found a way to express the makefile,
which is a bit more correct, and doesn't crash.
The relevant part of the change is the extra dollars inside the eval.
An eval inside a define that is expected to be called using eval,
requires double escaping of dollars for correct handling. Most of the
time it works without though. In this case adding it seems to stop the
crashing.
The rest of the change is minor cleanups.
I intend to push this to hs-comp since that's where the varhandles
patch currently sits.

Looks good to me.
