OK, after a couple more strange experiences, whereby -fvia-c sometimes
worked and sometimes did not, depending on what directory I was in,
I finally determined that the failure happened only when I had a file
called "stdint.h" in the current directory.

So apparently, since a straight call of gcc does not display the same
problem, the search path given to gcc by ghc somehow has . before
the standard location of /usr/include?
