Are only the interpreter variants failing (ghci, runghc, runhaskell)?
Or does the compiler error out, too? From your original mail, it
looked like the compiler itself exits with a panic.
Does the following work?
cat > Hello.hs << 'EOF'
module Main(main) where
main = putStrLn "Hello world!"
EOF
ghc -o hello Hello.hs
./hello

Not yet. It would be absolutely no fun on your machine (some parts
of the ghc build need huge amounts of memory, and you machine would
certainly be constantly swapping for several hours).

I'll check this later this evening, if time permits. (If not, this
has to wait until late sunday).
