<<loop>>: It's dead, Jim...

In my ongoing quest to get a boostrappable GHC-4.09, I'm
currently stuck again. After fiddling around with Linker.h
(see my previous mail) I was able to build 4.09 with 4.08.1,
but the 2nd stage compilation fails with:

   ...
   /usr/bin/ghc -cpp -fglasgow-exts -Rghc-timing -I. -IcodeGen -InativeGen -Iparser -iutils:basicTypes:types:hsSyn:prelude:rename:typecheck:deSugar:coreSyn:specialise:simplCore:stranal:stgSyn:simplStg:codeGen:absCSyn:main:profiling:parser:usageSP:cprAnalysis:javaGen:ghci:nativeGen  -recomp -O    -c types/TyCon.lhs -o types/TyCon.o -osuf o

   <<loop>>

   make[2]: *** [types/TyCon.o] Error 1
   make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
   make: *** [all] Error 1

Using `make GhcHcOpts=' gets one a little bit further, but
not really much:

   ...
   /usr/bin/ghc -cpp -fglasgow-exts -Rghc-timing -I. -IcodeGen -InativeGen -Iparser -iutils:basicTypes:types:hsSyn:prelude:rename:typecheck:deSugar:coreSyn:specialise:simplCore:stranal:stgSyn:simplStg:codeGen:absCSyn:main:profiling:parser:usageSP:cprAnalysis:javaGen:ghci:nativeGen  -recomp     -c types/Type.lhs -o types/Type.o -osuf o

   <<loop>>

   make[2]: *** [types/Type.o] Error 1
   make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
   make: *** [all] Error 1

(Main branch, updated this morning.) I'm not sure where to
look without extensive debugging, so any help is appreciated.
I'd really like to continue integrating HOpenGL into hslibs
and play around with generics a little bit... *sigh*

Cheers,
