Hmm.  I'm still wondering if AutoApply.hc is somehow wrong - has this
file been re-generated on the target machine?  It should have been
shipped with the HC files from the host machine.

Do you have GhcUnregisterised=3DYES in build.mk on the target machine =
for
these builds?  Does it help if you add it and start the build from
scratch on the target machine?
