ghc6 has been unbuildable since November due to first xmltex being
broken[1], and then problems with make[2]. It looks like the make
problem won't be fixed for the next release, so will have to be worked
around in GHC; hopefully we'll have a workaround soon and I can try to
get ghc6 on sparc fixed.

Hi,

At the moment I'm not even hitting these bugs you mentioned. First, the xlibs-dev has been removed, so ghc6 build-deps cannot be satisfied (cannot use pbuilder). I've just installed all the libs which replaced xlibs-dev
and ran the build. It terminates with:

/usr/bin/make all
/usr/bin/ghc6 -H16m -O -I. -Iinclude -Rghc-timing -ignore-package Cabal -I../../../libraries -fglasgow-exts -no-recomp -c Compat/Directory.hs -o Compat/Directory.o -ohi Compat/Directory.hi
make[5]: *** [Compat/Directory.o] Bus error
make[4]: *** [boot] Error 2
make[3]: *** [boot] Error 1
make[2]: *** [boot] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jurij/ghc6-6.4.1/ghc'
make[1]: *** [build] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jurij/ghc6-6.4.1'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2

So, it looks like there are more severe problems on sparc than the ones you've mentioned. Since ghc6 build-depends on ghc6, is there some way to bootstrap an unbroken version? You can find the complete build log at
