In fact, the error building DErrno.hs is just a symptom of a different
problem.  You have bootstrapped nhc98 from C files using gcc, and the
first time the new compiler is actually used is on the DErrno module.
Thus, the error indicates a more general fault in the compiler itself,
not a specific one with this source file.

At a wild guess, is your version of gcc >= 3.0?

The nhc98 build requires GNU make, which might be installed as gmake
on your system.
