Yup, as mentioned in the announce msg,

  http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/mail-www/haskell/msg01029.html

using the hdirect sources with ghc-4.00 is not recommended - use 
ghc-3.03 instead.

PS - you may have better luck with 4.00 if you compile the hdirect
sources with '-O -dcore-lint', but no guarantees.

Did you successfully compile any other programs with this
installation of ghc-4.00?  Which version of the C-library do 
you have on your system (I built the rpm against
glibc-2.0.7)?
