Unregistered build fails because libghccompat is not built

[jeremy at n-heptane.com]

I believe that this bug:

 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.glasgow.user/9108

Can be fixed by changing the build instructions on this page:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.4.1/html/building/sec-porting-ghc.html#unregisterised-porting

These two lines, currently do *not* cause the .hc files for compat to be created:

$ make boot UseStage1=YES
$ make -k UseStage1=YES EXTRA_HC_OPTS='-O -fvia-C -keep-hc-files'

but changing the first line to:

$ make boot UseStage1=YES EXTRA_HC_OPTS='-O -fvia-C -keep-hc-files'

does.

I also had to edit ghc/Makefile and change the order of subdirs so that libs comes before compiler as Simon suggested in that thread.

Here is the order I used:

ifeq "$(BootingFromHc?)" "YES" SUBDIRS = includes rts docs lib compiler utils driver else

Both changes applied, thanks.
