350	building on an AMD64	nobody	nobody	"{{{
I hope I'm right here to report my troubles with ghc
I'm running a Debian/unstable on an AMD64 and installed
ghc6.2 from the debian packages. Because I wanted to
compile pug I have to build ghc6.4, configure runs fine
but compilation fails with:
make all
rm -f System/Directory/Internals.o; if [ ! -d
System/Directory/Internals_split ]; then mkdir
System/Directory/Internals_split; else /usr/bin/find
System/Directory/Internals_split -name '*.o' -print |
xargs rm -f __rm_food; fi;
/usr/bin/ghc -H16m -O -I. -Rghc-timing 
-I../../../libraries -fglasgow-exts -no-recomp
-split-objs    -c System/Directory/Internals.hs -o
System/Directory/Internals.o  -ohi
System/Directory/Internals.hi

( cd System/Directory/Internals_split; rm -f ld.script;
touch ld.script; echo ""INPUT("" *.o "")"" >>ld.script;
/usr/bin/ld -r -x -o ../Internals.o ld.script; );
/usr/bin/ld:ld.script: file format not recognized;
treating as linker script
/usr/bin/ld:ld.script:1: parse error

could someone give me a hand on this?
