Comment:
I just built and installed 6.12.0.20091121 on Haiku, using vaguely similar
NetBSD-i386 as a donor. ksf already discussed the principle issues with
the .hc build. Also:
package-depend.mk are infected with external library references from the
donor host - e.g., if on NetBSD, openpty needs -lutil, then this library
will be required on the target host.
Target host build directory must conform to absolute paths from the donor
host.
compiler/main/Config.hs uses the donor host's absolute path for cGCC.
I dealt with the main issues by swapping in HsBaseConfig.h from the target
host, before stage2 ghc was built on the donor, and hacked in my own stat
struct with the target's layout.
