porting ghc-6.4 to x86_64

[Andrei A. Voropaev]

Sorry. Forgot to ask the next question on this process. Now that I have
unregistered compiler, how do I build the registered one?

I've tried to start with new tree and then run

./configure --with-ghc=T/ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace
make

But this resulted in an error
==fptools== make boot - --no-print-directory -r;
