Aha. Looks like the "target word size" is incorrect in the binary-dist version. Here's arm-apple-darwin10ghc --info (i.e., the binary-dist version) http://lpaste.net/99489
and here's arm-apple-darwin10-ghc --info (from a working 'make install'ed version) http://lpaste.net/99490 A bad settings file, I guess. I'll see if I can fix that...
