Starting with a completely fresh tree indeed solved the problem. Finally I was able to compile GHC from source, but I'd like to report that "nofib" and "hood" are actually breaking the fptools build.
nofib error is: /bin/sh -c ././exp3_8_p +RTS -SC:/TEMP/stats392 -RTS +RTS -H10m -K10m -RTS 8 < /dev/null 1> C:/TEMP/runtest392.1 2> C:/TEMP/runtest392.2 3> C:/TEMP/runtest392. 3 ././exp3_8_p +RTS -H10m -K10m -RTS 8 < /dev/null expected stdout not matched by reality *** exp3_8.stdout Tue Nov 26 11:46:26 1996 --- C:/TEMP/runtest392.1 Thu Feb 26 18:42:44 2004 *************** *** 1 **** ! 6561 --- 1 ---- ! 6561 make[4]: *** [runtests] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/haskell/cvs2/fptools/nofib' make: *** [build] Error 1 hood error is: make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/haskell/cvs2/fptools/hdirect' make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/haskell/cvs2/fptools/hood' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `boot'.

Things are going wrong when you use the newly built compiler to compile the run-time system. (This is the first RTS file it compiles, right?) Trouble is, I can't remember what was wrong. I hope you configured with --with-gcc=c:/mingw/bin/gcc as specified? Is this a completely clean build, starting with autoreconf, in a tree with no old files lying around in it? (If not, start a completely fresh tree -- I do have a vague memory that make clean didn't make clean enough...)
