Can't compile apps with the -fvia-C flag - Can't locate vars.pm

Description

When I try to compile even the simplest application with the -fvia-C flags, the compilation fails with the following error message: 

Can't locate vars.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/ghc/ghc-6.8.0.20070925/lib .) at
 C:\ghc\ghc-6.8.0.20070925\ghc-asm line 1289.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\ghc\ghc-6.8.0.20070925\ghc-asm line 1289

the app I used to reproduce bug: 

main = putStrLn "Hello, World!"

vars.pm is not present in older versions of GHC but they don't have this problem.

Cheers,

Olivier Boudry.

It looks like 3 "use vars ..." instructions made their way into the ghc-asm perl script (lines 1289, 1866 and 1882). According to comments they may be unused (# Unused?).

I tried to comment out the 3 "use vars ..." instructions and could compile using the -fvia-C option.

Cheers,

Olivier.

Audrey - you added those 'use vars' statements, are they necessary?
