It sounds like you're trying to bootstrap GHC from .hc files. Have you gone through the steps in the porting section of the building guide Building/Porting? Do you have .hc files for your platform?

I think this was fixed by:

  * Fixes for bootstrapping from HC files

i.e. 6.6.1 should work.

Thanks
