Just doing 'make -k' in ghc/rts should leave all the .hc files behind, because you already have the -keep-hc-files flag in your command line, so GHC won't delete the intermediate .hc files even when the subsequent compilation stage fails.

This doesn't work. The commands don't leve a .hc file behind, even with make -k.

My apologies: the failure was happening before generation of the .hc file. The error is generated by this in Cmm.h: #if SIZEOF_mp_limb_t != SIZEOF_VOID_P #error mp_limb_t != StgWord: assumptions in PrimOps.cmm are now false #endif SIZEOF_mp_limb_t comes from DerivedConstants.h, and SIZEOF_VOID_P comes from ghcautoconf.h (both in ghc/includes). Both of these files should be from the target system for a cross-compile; I strongly suspect that one of them has been overwritten by the host version in your tree. Sorry that this process is somewhat flaky; we've never got around to making the build system really do cross-compilation properly, and the fact that it usually only needs to be done once for any given platform means there isn't a lot of motivation to do the work.
