FWIW I also had problems on powerpc Linux (Debian). IME compiling with
ghc rather than gcc tends to have a better chance of "succeeding", but
if compiling with gcc wouldn't have succeeded then the ghc-compiled
nhc98 doesn't work properly either.
Compiling with gcc 3 I got a segfault compiling DErrNo.hs:
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=nhc98&ver=1.16-12&arch=powerpc&stamp=1099697591&file=log&as=raw
For now I just use gcc-2.95 on powerpc.
Thanks
Ian
