Yes! That is exactly my case. I have GHC6.2 as default. After I change 
it to my local copy of GHC6.4, this problem disappears.
 
However, when I execute the last command of cross-compilation, I get 
another problem.

$make hc-file-bundle Project=Ghc
I have following error msg.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Since it is mentioned in the documentation, that we can ignore "rts 
error", 
and the gz file is successfully generated. I decide to try the next step. It 
it safe to do so?

Thanks
