I'm afraid finding a workaround for compilers dying on compiler-generated code isn't going to be much fun...
Anyway, I just replaced a ifneq "$(INSTALL_LIBS)" "" by ifneq "$(strip $(INSTALL_LIBS))" "" (see my glasgow-haskell-bugs message of today, this usage is recommended in make's "info" for strip.)
Now I could install ghc, remove the build-tree and get enough free space to start compiling again. This time I'll log everything and come back when I'm sure what exactly is going on. (As I "remember" that 1) --with-gcc doesn't do what it should and 2) the gcc-2.95-crash on linux seems to be repeatable.)
I'm not positive about 2.95, but I know that on 3.x it crashes in different places, and even compiling different source files. With each 3.x release, they fix some of them, but others pop up to take their place. Clearly the gcc people don't know what's going on.
Sounds like it just was about time to get a C-- backend ;o) [off-topic] Btw, how bad is it to get "Bad eta expand" warnings during compilation of GHC? Greetings, Remi -- Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it.
