That sounds like an easier fix and I will try that. Unfortunately
working with Integers means lots of our convenience functions, such as
wordsToBytes, go out the window, as the all work on Byte/WordOff.
Here's an example that now gets more annoying:
shouldInlinePrimOp dflags NewArrayOp [(CmmLit (CmmInt n _)), init]
| wordsToBytes dflags (fromInteger n) <= maxInlineAllocSize dflags =
Most of our array primops are likely* still wrong, as the code that
generates them uses Int everywhere. Still also sounds like a problem
for cross-compiling.
* In some cases we might be lucky and the Int is never introspected
any we just look at the bits (i.e. pretend it's a Word) when we
generate code.
