The ghc command which perfectly repeatable kills gcc:
This is a known problem with gcc-2.95. We came across it back in September.
It was noticed in the nightly builds: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035116.html
And then we chased it up: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035122.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035134.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035259.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035268.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035293.html Ah, it's nice to see I was on the right track though ;)
The bug was dealt with in gcc-3.01 I think, and upgrading to gcc-3.3x certainly stopped it occuring in the OpenBSD nightly builds. Try adding: --with-gcc=gcc-3.x
Works for me. If you really need gcc-2.95, then constructing a patch along the lines of the one proposed to solve the test case should probably do it, though it would be a pain.

I already succeeded in compiling it with 3.4.3, but thanks anyway. It was merely an attempt to help Simon a little:

(though I now assume it probably isn't even the same bug?) Cheers, Remi -- Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it.
