Nathan,

llvm-3.1 (Ubuntu 12.10 stock verison) was what gave the bad code I 
mentioned previously (see below).

Note: llvm can be very easily built from source. The location of llc and 
friends is detected by GHC's configure.

llvm-3.2 gives this code, which looks correct:

00000000 <stg_returnToStackTop>:
    0:   e594608c        ldr     r6, [r4, #140]  ; 0x8c
    4:   e3a03000        mov     r3, #0
    8:   e596600c        ldr     r6, [r6, #12]
    c:   e596500c        ldr     r5, [r6, #12]
   10:   e584309c        str     r3, [r4, #156]  ; 0x9c
   14:   e286b064        add     fp, r6, #100    ; 0x64
   18:   e5942094        ldr     r2, [r4, #148]  ; 0x94
   1c:   e892000a        ldm     r2, {r1, r3}
   20:   e592201c        ldr     r2, [r2, #28]
   24:   e0812602        add     r2, r1, r2, lsl #12
   28:   e2436004        sub     r6, r3, #4
   2c:   e2422001        sub     r2, r2, #1
   30:   e5842084        str     r2, [r4, #132]  ; 0x84
   34:   e5950000        ldr     r0, [r5]
   38:   e1a0e00f        mov     lr, pc
   3c:   e1a0f000        mov     pc, r0
   40:   e1a0f00e        mov     pc, lr

llvm-3.0 gives near identical code (slight variation in instruction order):

00000000 <stg_returnToStackTop>:
    0:   e594608c        ldr     r6, [r4, #140]  ; 0x8c
    4:   e3a03000        mov     r3, #0
    8:   e596600c        ldr     r6, [r6, #12]
    c:   e596500c        ldr     r5, [r6, #12]
   10:   e584309c        str     r3, [r4, #156]  ; 0x9c
   14:   e286b064        add     fp, r6, #100    ; 0x64
   18:   e5942094        ldr     r2, [r4, #148]  ; 0x94
   1c:   e892000a        ldm     r2, {r1, r3}
   20:   e592201c        ldr     r2, [r2, #28]
   24:   e0812602        add     r2, r1, r2, lsl #12
   28:   e2422001        sub     r2, r2, #1
   2c:   e2436004        sub     r6, r3, #4
   30:   e5842084        str     r2, [r4, #132]  ; 0x84
   34:   e5950000        ldr     r0, [r5]
   38:   e1a0e00f        mov     lr, pc
   3c:   e1a0f000        mov     pc, r0
   40:   e1a0f00e        mov     pc, lr

Unfortunately llvm-3.2 doesn't quite work. I get this error:

We will try though...

(llvm-3.0 gave a vaguely similar error).

So, the best option looks like to use llvm-3.2 and fix anything that 
isn't working.
