It seems that SIZEOF_VOID_P isn't defined anywhere.

All right, I'll try again with the last darcs version when I get access to a
i386 Linux machine.
In the mean time, I'll try to run a GHC 6.6 -> 6.10 -> 6.12 build chain, 6.6
being the latest version available in OpenBSD's ports.

Thank you for your help !
