 One other IMPORTANT thing: you *must* enable stg-split-markers in the
 native code generator output, otherwise this won't work at all --
 since it won't be able to find out where the code blocks start and
 end.  Enable these markers by compiling ghc (or at least
 ghc/compiler/nativeGen/AsmCodeGen.lhs, function nativeCodeGen) with
--DDEBUG enabled.
+-DDEBUG_NCG enabled.
 
 Matching is simple but inefficient; diff-ing a large module could take
 a minute or two.
