BTW, I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but I also got this error after the coredump:
Trying to get tag from unevaluated node in TABLESWITCH at 200a32fd! Node is: 20053057 at 200c653c
This just means the runtime bytecode interpreter has fallen over, and is largely equivalent to a seg fault. Now that you have managed to get ghc built on your machine, you may no longer be interested in nhc98, but I wondered if you have yet tried the same hack you needed for ghc:
Oh, BTW, I had to put a script named gcc on my path. It says this: exec /usr/local/bin/gcc -mpowerpc -maix32 -mminimal-toc "$@"
And it might also be interesting to see if you can now build nhc98 with your fresh ghc. A success would mean I didn't need to worry any further. Regards, Malcolm
