Summary: build error (Mac OS X)

Initial Comment:
../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -optc-O -optc-O2 -optc-fomit-frame-pointer -optc-Wall -optc-W -optc-Wstrict-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-prototypes -optc-Wmissing-declarations -optc-Winline -optc-Waggregate-return -optc-Wbad-function-cast -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -I../includes -I. -Iparallel -O2 -DCOMPILING_RTS -static    -c Adjustor.c -o Adjustor.o
cc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations

The above error message is given when the build system begins to use ghc-inplace to build the C sources in fptools/ghc/rts. (This occurs after the build of gmp, I believe).

I'm trying to build ghc 5.00.2 (using binaries of GHC 4.08.1 provided by Atze Dijkstra, linked from the GHC download page).

Out of curiosity, I ran the following command (eliminating the '-o' option that the error message referred to & various warnings):
../../ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace -optc-fomit-frame-pointer -optc-DCOMPILING_RTS -I../includes -I. -Iparallel -DCOMPILING_RTS -c Adjustor.c
cc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations

As you can see, the exact same error resulted.  It looks like ghc-inplace is passing cc a bad set of options internally, as the error message doesn't have to do with the options provided directly on the command line...

Several changes to the compiler and to the runtime system
are required to build a working compiler on MacOS X.
I have a patch (quite ugly, I'm afraid, and parts of the
build process are still tricky).  I have a binary build
of GHC 5.00.2 (built with itself) waiting to be uploaded
to www.haskell.org...

This is the output upon adding the -v flag.

Could you please run ghc-inplace with the -v flag, so that
it displays what flags it used to invoke cc internally?
