I have had the same experience on my PowerBook G4 (building on Leopard
using XCode 3 and ghc-6.6.1). Regarding the parsec build issue: based on
the output when '-v' is added to the command-line that fails, the error
seems to be related to the '-split-objs' option somehow making ld blow up.
Removing '-O' from the command line apparently changes the output enough
that it doesn't trigger the problem.
I have no hypothesis regarding the segfault issue, but I can confirm that
when building either 6.8.1 or head, my stage1 builds pretend to work, but
my stage2 compilers are deader than doornails. Anything I can do to
provide more useful info?
