OK, with all the recent changes I get quite far, but only because I have a 
local modification of the nhc98 script: When processing a *.gc file, it 
uses "ld -r" to partially link together the C part and the Haskell part. To 
make this work in the presence of the -m32 hack, one has to add " -melf_i386" 
to the "ld -r" lines, telling ld to use the elf_i386 emulation. Other 
platforms will of course need other emulations. I am not sure how to fix this 
in a portable way, perhaps one can use "gcc -m32" somehow for this partial 
linking step? Hmmm, ideas would be highly welcome...

Cheers,
