../../../ghc/driver/ghc after some work simply exits with status 1.
When I run ghc instead (from $PATH) in this place with those arguments,
it exited with status 0, but did not create PrelBase.o either.

I had to add -optCrts=128M, according to docs, because otherwise it
failed earlier with heap overflow. Thus compiling ghc uses over 70MB
of memory. I have only 32MB of physical memory, so it swaps a lot
and takes about half a day until it fails.

(I also couldn't boot from .hc files, but it was 45 days ago and
I don't remember the details now; maybe I did something wrong.
I could not compile happy, but also I don't remember the details.
Maybe I will try again later.)
