What about a hybrid strategy?
* For unregistered compilation things stay as they are now, i.e. the
names are not (un-)mangled and no prototypes are generated. For all
the GHC stuff we can still assure that enough prototypes are available
for gcc (#ifdef, #include, ...).
* For registered compilation Alastair's suggestion is used.
That should be enough to bootstrap GHC.
Cheers,
