I'd like to cross-build GHC 7.6.2.  I got stuck when I was trying to
build a Stage 1 compiler [1].  Here's a bug report: [2,3].

I'm not sure that it's a bug; maybe I misunderstood the process.
Could anyone advise?

I have no experience with C.  Though, I'll try to help out.

I don't want to be cruel, but if you have no experience with C,
why are you trying to do this?

Is /usr/bin/gcc a MIPS cross-compiler?  If not, how do you expect it
to work?

Right, I wasn't using a cross-compiler.  That's the problem.

I haven't succeeded in cross-building yet.  I'm using a distro with a
non-common directory structure and I still have to figure out how to
specify both GCCs.  But it has nothing to do with the ticket.  So I've
just closed it.

I apologize for the noise.
