Ok on the advice of Kirstin S. Reese who said:

tar xfvz ghc-4.02-src.tar.gz
cd fptools
tar xfvz ../ghc-4.02-x86-hc.tar.gz
# went in and commented out fflush in ghc/rts/RtsStartup.c
./configure --enable-hc-boot
make boot
make all
./configure
cd ghc/lib
make boot
and everthing worked fine but when I did a make all
I got the same error. I carefully went in and cleaed out ghc from
/usr/local/bin|lib before starting anything:
[kevina@kevins-linux bin]$ ls -F

libaspell.a libaspell.so.2@
I am using Redhat 6.0.
After looking through the bug archive I realized that I was having the
exact same problem that Giuliano P Procida had. Is there a known fix
for this problem as commenting out the fflush did not seam to work.
