This doesn't work. The commands don't leve a .hc file behind, even with
make -k. I ieven tried using the command line alonei for Appy.hc. This did
not work either. The I commented out the #error in line 288 of Cmm.h.
After this I got the following error:

~/Haskell/fptools-i386amd64/ghc-6.4.1/ghc/rts 0$ ../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -H16m -O -H32m -keep-hc-files -static -I. -#include Prelude.h -#include Rts.h -#include RtsFlags.h -#include RtsUtils.h -#include StgRun.h -#include Schedule.h -#include Printer.h -#include Sanity.h -#include STM.h -#include Storage.h -#include SchedAPI.h -#include Timer.h -#include Itimer.h -#include ProfHeap.h -#include LdvProfile.h -#include Profiling.h -#include Apply.h -fvia-C -dcmm-lint    -O -fvia-C -keep-hc-files -c Apply.cmm -o Apply.o
Cmm lint error:

    in basic block c2
      in assignment: 
        R1 = I32[R1 + 8 + 0];


Compilation had errors

so it looks as if there is a more severe problem remaining.
