I know that this has been done already (at least by RedHat), but since I don't use RedHat (or any other distro of linux) and instead compiled everything myself, I have to bootstrap ghc as well. So I'm carefully following the instruction. On my host (i386) I have ghc-6.2.2 (and ghc-6.4). Looks like I have some problem.
As far as I understand this should fail.

Yes, I hit exactly this problem when I recently bootstrapped on x86_64. IIRC, the solution was to make the RTS compile.
Did you copy across ghc/includes/DerivedConstants.h and ghc/includes/GHCConstants.h from the target to the host? I think that should fix the above error (the docs do say you have to do this, so perhaps it's something else).
Sure enough I did. As I said, I carefully followed the instructions. I repeated the whole process 3 times to make sure I didn't forget something :)
So could you check the values of SIZEOF_VOID_P (in ghcautoconf.h) and SIZEOF_mp_limb_t (in DerivedConstants.h)? They should both be 8 in the versions of these files copied from the target. Cheers, Simon
