Use strace with the -ff option. This will produce separate traces for each child, which will be easier to interpret. It looks like whatever is going wrong is happening in a child process (but someone who knows more about the innards of ghc may correct me on this).

Hi
I am also facing the same problem. I tried to build a virgin tree, but with no success as Simon PJ has pointed out.
I have attached my strace file.

I have been trying to build GHC, but the ghc.exe that gets built for ghc-inplace always exits with "Error 1". It *can* print its version number and the help, but building anything fails. The build fails making Adjustor.o from Adjustor.c.
I'm trying to build a cvs checkout fpconfig ghc hslibs on Win XP Pro, bootstrapping with the provided GHC 5.04.1 binary and Happy 1.13 binary.
I mentioned this to a colleague and he said he had exactly the same problem (ghc exits with error 1), on Windows and Linux, when building from source tarballs and CVS. We don't normally have any problems running the haskell.org GHC binaries.
Can any of you suggest what we might be doing wrong? We are in the southern hemisphere, so our electrons may be orbiting backwards.
:-) I've never seen this myself, I'm afraid. If you have a Linux build
which behaves in the same way, could you try stracing it (i.e. prepend 'strace' to the command which fails) and send us the output?
