Hi,
to get past this one, have a look at
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/fp/software/ghc/bugs.html#2.04-x86
which works around the above gcc panic with the -monly-n-regs option.
However, there is an elusive bug in the handling of -monly-n-regs in
GHC, so I'd recommend having a look at
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/fp/software/ghc/bugs.html#2.05-mangler
and apply the patch given there before continuing.
Hope that gets you going again,
