Summary: ghc fail build with gcc 3.1

Initial Comment:
ghc will fail to build with newer gcc if -O is given to
ghc. Comfirmed with gcc 3.1, and most probably the
upcoming 3.2 as well.


Prologue junk?: .globl __stginit_Main
__stginit_Main:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        
is the ghc complaint (looks like a function prologue in
ASM). Temporary fix is to compile with -O -fasm.

Note that this also means that you will be unable to
bootstrap ghc from source if you have a newer gcc
installed on your system.

Verified on Linux/x86 only.
