Hi Don,

Thanks for all this. I recently went through the unregisterised
bootstrap process myself (for amd64), and I've written some detailed
instructions in the Building Guide - you might want to take a look and
see if you have anything to add.
For unregisterised bootstrapping, I don't recommend using hc-build. The
resaon is that hc-build goes to some lengths to make a tree which is
safe to 'make install' in, and this isn't necessary for bootstrapping -
all you need to do is get to the "working compiler" stage, and then use
this to build a completely fresh tree.
I've applied your patches, with some small tweaks by myself to avoid
breaking the unregisterised bootstrap, which is normally done with a
compiler without interpreter support, hence the lack of the readline,
haskell-src and other libraries.
Cheers,
Simon
