Anything we can help with?
I was able to get a binary for netbsd20 working. However with building it I get a few errors. So I tried doing the cross compiling an unregistered version, but I get the same errors in the same spot.

Which step of the bootstrap is this? It looks like the configure script has failed to detect the version of GHC installed on your system. Cheers, Simon

cd H/ghc && make boot && make
in section 10.2.1 of the build guide.
Actually I just double checked and I don't get those lines of the error 
when doing cross-compiling. 
Sorry grabbed the first set of errors I saw. It is the same minus those 
test messages for the cross-compiling:

ghc-6.2.1: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.2.1):
         This compiler was built without a native code generator
     Use -fvia-C instead
