Here's the patch, which now compiles correctly.

This might be relevant: I don't know.

Further useful information. The problem doesn't manifest itself when
compiling GHC 6.6, so the question is what parts of the runtime system

The thing is, 6.2 is building 6.8 just fine. Stage 1 is quite happy. The
problem arises during linking of Stage 2 - ie 6.8 can't build itself.
Cheers,

The suggested remedy of commenting out the
line reading "SRC_HC_OPTS += -fvia-C" in the Makefile won't work, as
that line isn't there anyway.
In case it is not obvious from what other people have said, way back
in the days of ghc-6.2, you got -fvia-C by default, whether it was
specified on t

No, I have GMP installed, and it's correctly compiling against it. The
issue isn't that these symbols are missing altogether, but rather that
there's something wrong with them. It looks to me like

There's good news and bad news. The good news is that the compilation of
my shiny almost-new GHC is complete. The bad news is, it won't link.
It's grumbling about

I can now confirm that 6.2 can, in fact, bootstrap 6.8.2 (with the
corrections to those hi-boots), although I've still not got the build to
complete. If anyone wants to see the patch file, then let me know and
I'll send it when I've ironed out the last creases.
Thanks to all those who helped out.

no need to go back too far.
