[Q] bootstrapping ghc on netbsd

[fis@ssh.com]

 Dear all,


QUESTION: Is there an easy way of keeping ghc-4.08.2 from using any
assembler code when compiling it from .hc files + sources?

DETAILS: Why do I want to do this?  gmp-2.0.2 has some problems
compiling on netbsd machines that can be solved by hiding all
assembler code from the compiler.  Having done so, I managed to
bootstrap on NetBSD 1.3.2, but still have an inplace-compiler failure
on 1.5.  The error message is from the gcc assembler (see below), so I
thought trying a pure C variant might help somewhat.

I undefined i386_{HOST,TARGET,BUILD}_ARCH in $(TOP)/mk/config.mk but
it had no effect.


 thanks for any hints,
Matthias
