 OK, this is a weird one.

 I'm building GHC 6.4.1 on AIX and using IBM's
 assembler, since GNU binutils is known to have issues
 on AIX.

 When the build reached AdjustorAsm.S, I got:

 imer.h -#include ProfHeap.h -#include LdvProfile.h
 -#include Profiling.h -#inclu
 de Apply.h -fvia-C -dcmm-lint     -c AdjustorAsm.S -o
 AdjustorAsm.o
 Assembler:
 /tmp//ccq7dlbU.s: line 15: 1252-016 The specified
 opcode or pseudo-op is not val
 id.
         Use supported instructions or pseudo-ops only.
 /tmp//ccq7dlbU.s: line 48: 1252-149 Instruction subf is
 not implemented in the c
 urrent assembly mode COM.
 /tmp//ccq7dlbU.s: line 52: 1252-142 Syntax error.
 /tmp//ccq7dlbU.s: line 53: 1252-142 Syntax error.
 /tmp//ccq7dlbU.s: line 58: 1252-142 Syntax error.
 /tmp//ccq7dlbU.s: line 59: 1252-142 Syntax error.
 make[2]: *** [AdjustorAsm.o] Error 1

 After some research, I added -opta -Wa,-mppc, which
 reduced the errors to:

 /tmp//ccA1yNhC.s: line 15: 1252-016 The specified
 opcode or pseudo-op is not val
 id.
         Use supported instructions or pseudo-ops only.
 /tmp//ccA1yNhC.s: line 52: 1252-142 Syntax error.
 /tmp//ccA1yNhC.s: line 53: 1252-142 Syntax error.
 /tmp//ccA1yNhC.s: line 58: 1252-142 Syntax error.
 /tmp//ccA1yNhC.s: line 59: 1252-142 Syntax error.

 I examined the temp files and found that line 15
 contains only the word ".text".

 I was finally able to work around the problem by adding
 -opta -save-temps to the command line, then using GNU
 as like so:

 as mppc -I.  AdjustorAsm.s -o AdjustorAsm.o

 I then copied the resulting .o file to the thr, p,
 debug, etc. .o files.  The build was then able to complete.
