OK SimonM helped me past this.  Just for your info

* The code generator does not actually mention stg_gc_ut; that
  is in commented-out code.

* TH was loading HSsyb-0.3.7.o, which was an old .o file created back in 
  August.  I'd just installed syb, but cabal had created libHSsyb-0.3.7.a.
  Sadly TH ignored the new .a and took the old .o.

Solution: delete the out of date .o file.
