Ok; the command line is:

/usr/local/bin/ghc -package-name hsql -odir dist/build/. -hidir dist/build/. --make -i. -ffi -fglasgow-exts -cpp -package base-1.0 Database.HSQL Database.HSQL.Types

The problem is a "Bus error", but it doesn't always occur at the same
spot.  I ran the above command with the "-v" option.  Here is the
output from one run:

I ran this a few times, and getting the bus error right after the
"CodeOutput" line is more typical.

Anything else I can do to help track down the problem?
