A while ago, I read that GHC is supposed to work with egcs.
However, GHC 3.02 doesn't work for me with egcs 1.1b.  The
latter complaint about illegally spilled registers when
compiling some module with -fglasgow-exts, and an attempt to
compile 4.01 from source produced a compiler that couldn't
build the prelude.  Unfortunately, I don't have time at the
moment to produce a more accurate report - I'll try to do
that later though.

I don't consider this really to be a bug in GHC, but I
wanted to let people know that it is better to watch out
when using egcs.  I heard that egcs checks the contents of
asm sections and is somewhat picky about what is done with
which registers.

Cheers,

Manuel
