trying to build haddock gets past this point, so I think this is just an
older ghc not being able to cope with newer gccs. I suggest upgrading to
ghc 6.6.1 and then you can build haddock 0.8 with that. You won't be able
to haddock the libraries until after you've done so, of course, but that
isn't necessary to get a working compiler.
If you have a similar problem trying to build ghc itself then try either
an OS-specific package or the generic Linux binary distribution, for
either 6.6 or 6.6.1.
