Like Ian I don't know where else it should go, and since the
module is named GHC.Base the name seems to indicate that
what is in it is for GHC, so I didn't think it needed to
have any #ifdef around it.
Sorry, I wasn't clear; the definition in GHC.Base is fine, it's the
re-export in Prelude that we're worried about.

(although it would probably be nicer to have the definition in a
portable module).

Thanks
Ian
