Unfortunately we have some problems with bootstrapping at the moment,
which mean the process is somewhat more complicated than it ought to be.
To bootstrap you'll need to generate a set of .hc files suitable for the
intended target, i.e. OpenBSD. The problem is the .hsc files in the
libraries: these generate platform-specific .hs files, which in turn
lead to platform-specific .hc files.
The way around this is to start from a tree on a x86-linux box, generate
the intermediate -hsc_make.c files, take these to the OpenBSD box and
run them to generate the appropriate .hs files, and take these back to
the Linux machine to generate the .hc files.
Sorry for the painful process, this is being addressed for the next
release.
Cheers,
Simon
