Ah, good, that'll hopefully make getting 6.6 working less painful. > The interesting thing is that out of the box using the 6.4.2 > bootstrap compiler, > 6.6 still crashes when compiling Linker.c.

Yes, that's probably the best way to go. Put: GhcUnregisterised=YES GhcWithNativeCodeGen=NO GhcWithInterpreter=NO SplitObjs=NO GhcWithSMP=NO in mk/build.mk before you start building. If that breaks in the same way then set the -debug flag as I described before, delete compiler/stage1/ghc-6.whatever.it.is, run "make stage=1" in compiler/ (should relink ghc with -debug) and then try the failing command again. Assuming it still breaks, try gdb'ing it (note that it's a shell script that's being run, so you'll need to run the real binary and pass the extra args to it manually with gdb).
