Thanks, I'll add those tests to CVS.

I've got one other patch I'll send along yet once I've got everything built.

Please do.

With the CVS file, the only change I had to make was: --- script/harch~ 2003-02-13 12:08:43.000000000 -0600 +++ script/harch 2004-09-30 10:43:31.000000000 -0500 @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ then OS=$OS-`oslevel` else OS=$OS-unknown fi - if /etc/lsattr -EHl proc0 | grep -i powerpc >/dev/null 2>&1 + if lsattr -EHl proc0 | grep -i powerpc >/dev/null 2>&1 then PROCESSOR=powerpc else PROCESSOR=power fi ;;

There have been a few recent patches, additional to those on the website, for fixing nhc98's interaction with gcc-3.3.x. Rather than try to extract them, I'm going to suggest you collect a snapshot of the current CVS, which has these fixes plus several more improvements. Then, if you still can't get it to build, we will at least be sure that the problem does not lie with inadequate patch management, but with the current codebase.

Got it, but build crashed with the same error: /home/jgoerzen/programs/nhc98-1.17/script/nhc98 -c +CTS -lib -redefine -CTS +RTS -H32M -RTS -o /home/jgoerzen/programs/nhc98-1.17/targets/powerpc-AIX-5.1.0.0/obj/prelude/DErrNo/DErrNo.o DErrNo.hs /home/jgoerzen/programs/nhc98-1.17/script/nhc98[452]: 72104 Segmentation fault(coredump) /home/jgoerzen/programs/nhc98-1.17/script/nhc98[462]: 66656 Segmentation fault(coredump) Trying to get tag from unevaluated node in TABLESWITCH at 200a2d25!
