Actually, looking at ghc/Makefile, it is possible that ghc/lib isn't getting built early enough. Try changing:

SUBDIRS = includes rts docs compiler lib utils driver

to

SUBDIRS = includes rts lib docs compiler utils driver

Did that. Now I get to here:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `Compat/Directory.o', needed by `ghccompat.o'. Stop. make[1]: *** [all] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 1 make: Leaving directory `/home/andrew/test/ghc/bs/target/ghc-6.4.1/ghc'

Any clues how to proceed?

I have no idea what has gone wrong here. We ought to be able to make Compat/Directory.o. However, we don't need ghccompat.o, so you could try adding: GhcWithInterpter=NO to ghc/lib/compat/Makefile, right after the NO_INSTALL_LIBRARY setting. If that doesn't work, please run 'make -p -d' in ghc/lib/compat and send me the output. Cheers, Simon
