Heh, probably shouldn't have tried to build that on a VM. think it ran  
out of memory a long time before it came close :)

oh, also, jhc won't run on Mac OS, it's missing a header file

17:35 ~/src/jhc-0.6.1 % cat Foo.hs
main = putStrLn "foo"
17:35 ~/src/jhc-0.6.1 % jhc Foo.hs
Optimize.optimize.let-shrink-tail
Optimize.optimize.unit-unit
Optimize.optimize.unit-unit
Optimize.optimize.let-unbox-const.{&("CJhc.Basics.()")
hs.out_code.c:62:20: error: endian.h: No such file or directory
user error (C code did not compile.)

I do have these files:

/usr/include/i386/endian.h
/usr/include/machine/endian.h
/usr/include/ppc/endian.h
/usr/include/sys/_endian.h
