My best answer until after the pldi deadline is to tweak the makefile
(and commit the result for benefit of others) to remove it from the
build process.

After that, we can replace GreenCard and Win32's use of ForeignObj and
Addr with ForeignPtr a and Ptr a.

I wonder if the ffi used to support ForeignObj but doesn't anymore.
You wouldn't have noticed at the time but yesterday's need to 'make
clean' brought the problem to people's attention.
