genSym.c:(.text+0x84): undefined reference to `arm_atomic_spin_lock'

make[2]: *** [utils/haddock/dist/build/tmp/haddock] Error 1Our armel architecture satisfies "arm_HOST_ARCH && defined(arm_HOST_ARCH_PRE_ARMv6)", so cas() in includes/stg/SMP.h will (uniquely among architectures) not be entirely inline: it calls arm_atomic_spin_lock and arm_atomic_spin_unlock, which are in libHSrts. 7.8 introduces compiler/cbits/genSym.c which uses atomic_inc. How should the linkage requirements be satisfied here?
