build failure of GHC 6.10.2 release on arm-unknown-linux platform

[kgardas]

Hello, I've attempted to build GHC 6.10.2 release on arm-unknown-linux platform, but build fails with:

/home/user/src/ghc-6.10.2/ghc/stage1-inplace/ghc  -H32m -O -optc-O2 -I../includes -I. -Iparallel -Ism -DCOMPILING_RTS -package-name rts -optc-DNOSMP -static  -I../gmp/gmpbuild -I../libffi/build/include -I. -dcmm-lint     -c Apply.cmm -o Apply.o
/tmp/ghc16399_0/ghc16399_0.hc: In function ‘stg_ap_0_fast’:

/tmp/ghc16399_0/ghc16399_0.hc:15:0:
     warning: implicit declaration of function ‘JMP_’
ghc-asm: don't know how to mangle assembly language for: arm-unknown-linux
make[1]: *** [Apply.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/src/ghc-6.10.2/rts'
make: *** [stage1] Error 2

to perform the build I've done common:

./configure --prefix=/tmp/ghc-6.10.2-bin
make

The linux is Debian 4.0 running on simulated armv5tel (Qemu):

I'm using Debian provided GHC, which is version 6.6:

I'm afraid registerised builds aren't supported on arm, so you'll need to do an unregisterised build:  http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Unregisterised
