Yes we did introduce a problem with hsc2hs in the most recent ghc
release and I'm sorry about that. Just in case you're interested
however, the fix for your makefiles is to add two flags:

hsc2hs --cc=ghc --ld=ghc

That should work with any version of hsc2hs and it gives the behaviour
of the older hsc2hs versions that came with older ghc releases.
