You probably need to add some support for your platform to the split
script in ghc/driver/split/ghc-split.lprl and/or the mangler in
ghc/driver/mangler/ghc-asm.lprl.  For now, you can turn off splitting as
Don suggested.

These options should go in machDepCCOpts in
ghc/compiler/main/DriverFlags.hs, and then you can do away with the gcc
script.
