I assume you are building nhc98 with gcc, rather than another Haskell
compiler.  This error is occurring on the first invocation of the
freshly-built compiler over a Haskell source file, indicating that
the build has failed - you have a non-working compiler.

So it seems that our attempt to fix nhc98 to build with gcc-3.x
has not been entirely successful.  Because you are running on a
PPC architecture, it is possible that our current fix only works on
intel/sparc machines.

Please could you run the following test, and send me the output
(DErrNo.s), thanks.

    $ gcc -S -x c src/prelude/DErrNo.hc
