OK, I suspect the problem is that nhc98 does not work well with gcc-3.x.
Does FreeBSD-current also have a gcc-2.9x.x series compiler available?
If so, try rebuilding nhc98's runtime, prelude, and libraries with the
older version of gcc as the C backend.  e.g.

    cd nhc98-1.14a
    CC=gcc-2.95.3 ./configure --buildwith=ghc-5.04.1

and the same for Hat, I suppose:

    cd hat-2.00
    CC=gcc-2.95.3 ./configure --buildwith=nhc98
