System: NetBSD bsd 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (BSD) #0: Thu Dec 7 13:47:32 EST 2000 root@bsd:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BSD i386


>Description:
	The lang/ghc-4.04 package fails to compile, using either egcs-1.1.2 or gcc-2.95.2 on
	i386.  Trying ghc-4.08.1 from the GHC source code fails in the same fashion, a
	slew of assembler/linker errors:

	rm -f Array.o ; if [ ! -d Array ]; then mkdir Array; else /usr/bin/find Array -name '*.o' -print | xargs rm -f __rm_food ;
 	fi ;

>How-To-Repeat:
  	Try to build lang/ghc-4.04
>Fix:
	None known.  I've tried egcs-1.1.2, gcc-2.95.2, perl-5.004004 and perl-5.60, to no
	avail.  The same code (using the ghc-4.08.1 source distribution) compiles under
	Linux & FreeBSD using the same compilers listed with no problems.
