- Is there a discrepancy between leading underscores on the symbols in libHSbase.a and the missing symbols? No; neither have any leading underscores.

Can you compile a small "hello world"-type program using ghc/compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace?

$ more hello.hs main = print "Hello world!" $ ./ghc-inplace hello.hs hello.o(.text+0x28): In function 'rE8_srt': undefined reference to 'GHCziShow_zdfShowChar_closure"

Perhaps this is a gcc-3.3 problem. I notice that you're compiling ghc 6.0 rather than 6.0.1, and 6.0 had some problems with gcc 3.3. Could you try compiling 6.0.1 instead, and see if that helps? Cheers, Simon
