Hi,
try editing ghc/lib/posix/Makefile, changing the line
PosixProcPrim_HC_OPTS ='-\#include"cbits/libposix.h"'
to
PosixProcPrim_HC_OPTS ='-\#include"cbits/libposix.h"' -monly-3-regs
(and if that doesn't work, try changing it to -monly-2-regs)
What Linux distribution / version of gcc are you using?
hth,
--Sigbjorn
