Comment (by ChrisKuklewicz):
Using -fvia-C and setting -O to -Onot did build ghc-6.8.1 as was reported
above.
The exact stanza of mk/build.mk was
{{{
HADDOCK_DOCS = NO
SRC_CC_OPTS = -Werror
SRC_HC_OPTS = -Werror -H64m -Onot -fvia-C
GhcStage1HcOpts = -Onot -fvia-C
GhcStage2HcOpts = -Onot -fvia-C
GhcLibHcOpts = -Onot -fvia-C
GhcLibWays =
SplitObjs = NO
NoFibWays =
STRIP = :
GhcBootLibs = YES
}}}
Simply recompiling ghc-6.8.1 with itself then failed because the configure
script uses ghc without the -fvia-C option (it has the unknown...4 error
when linking the utils/pwd/pwd program).
So I changed the "ghc" program shell script to add the -fvia-C options to
every invocation. This has allowed ghc-6.8.1 to start compiling itself...
