can't manage to compile ghc6

[Isaac Jones]

Greetings,

I'm having trouble compiling ghc6.  I have two versions of ghc
installed at the moment, one is 5.04.2 from Debian, and another is a
CVS snapshot from some time back that I've been using because it fixes
a pet bug of mine.  I can't seem to use either of these to build ghc6
from source on i386 linux.  The failure seems to be occuring during
the make boot stage.  Is there any particular compiler I need to build
ghc 6?

See below for some compiling output.

peace,

isaac

(no configure options except --prefix and --with-ghc for the two
different versions)

building this):
