You should be able to use the native code generator to build GHC, which
will compile a lot faster and use less memory. The GHC binary it
produces may be slightly slower, however (on x86).
To do this, create a file mk/build.mk in your build tree, containing the
line:
SRC_HC_OPTS = -H32m -O -fasm
Cheers,
Simon
