Sigh. I tried very hard to install 2.04 on a Linux box using 2.02,
and failed miserably. I then decided to retreat to 0.29, since that
one at least has been cited as having been successful. When I attempt
it, I get a "fixed or forbidden register was spilled" error. Since
this is on a .hc file, is this a gcc error?
This is while compiling ArrBase.lhs. Since I am aware that such
errors often go away upon fairly minor changes in the syntax, my next
strategy is to throw some minor correctness-preserving changes in and
see what I can see.
I enclose an excerpt from the errors below.
/usr/src/ghc/tmp//ghc30268.hc:953: fixed or forbidden register was spilled.
This may be due to a compiler bug or to impossible asm
statements or clauses.
gmake[2]: *** [ghc/ArrBase.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2
Sigh. We struggle on.
