The latest fails, with the following trace: http://pastebin.ca/1770926

Can you look at the include files, at the locations where all these errors crop up? like, includes/stg/Types.h:118: error: syntax error before '*' token

This probably means some type identifier used at that point hasn't been declared, or macro defined or whatever. You'd have to see what it is, and maybe it will be more obvious what went wrong. It seems that SIZEOF_VOID_P isn't defined anywhere.

But of course Matthias is right, the configuration of build and target hosts you propose to use probably isn't going to work. The idea is that you do this configure step on the OpenBSD host, right? and then transplant this configuration (a couple of .h files, etc.) to the build host and proceed to build the .hc files. That means the build host has to be a lot like the target host, or that build will be radically misconfigured. Same hardware architecture, at a minimum.

All right, I'll try again with the last darcs version when I get access to a i386 Linux machine. In the mean time, I'll try to run a GHC 6.6 -> 6.10 -> 6.12 build chain, 6.6 being the latest version available in OpenBSD's ports. Thank you for your help !
