I believe that this bug:

 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.glasgow.user/9108

 Can be fixed by changing the build instructions on this page:

 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.4.1/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html
 #unregisterised-porting

 These two lines, currently do *not* cause the .hc files for compat to be
 created:

 $ make boot UseStage1=YES
 $ make -k UseStage1=YES EXTRA_HC_OPTS='-O -fvia-C -keep-hc-files'

 but changing the first line to:

 $ make boot UseStage1=YES EXTRA_HC_OPTS='-O -fvia-C -keep-hc-files'

 does.
