Yep, the -ansi switch basically doesn't work.  The RTS isn't ANSI C - it
uses some GCC extensions.  And we have to call the preprocessor with
-traditional to preprocess Haskell source, because otherwise cpp tries to
interpret all sorts of things as C syntax (eg. // comments, character
literals etc.).
