Summary: Still fails to build with GCC 3.2

Initial Comment:

Following the instructions listed in other bug reports,
I bootstrapped GHC 5.04.1 on a machine with an older
GCC, then installed that on the target machine
(Mandrake 9.0, GCC 3.2).

But the mangler is still busted: compiling anything
with -O gives errors like:

| Prologue junk?: .globl __stginit_PrimPacked
| 	.type	__stginit_PrimPacked, at function
| __stginit_PrimPacked:
| 	pushl	%ebp
| 	movl	%esp, %ebp


Compiling with '-O -fasm' works, but GHC 5.04.1 still
can't recompile itself since parts of it require '-O
-fvia-C'.

I also tried downloading the current version of
ghc-asm.lprl from the CVS repository and using that;
still get the same errors.
