Turns out that both ghc and gmp are confused about the true nature of
the platform.  It is AIX on PowerPC64, running in 32-bit mode.  After
significant tweaking to Makefiles (to add -mpowerpc all over the place),
things seem to work.  I hope I'll actually have it built later today.
Sigh.

Thanks for your help, though.  It is appreciated.  I will post the built
tree once I have a working ghc.
