The compiler was ghc 5.04.1, installed from the rpm on haskell.org; I've updated to 5.04.2 (same source): no change. In the example below, I'm using gcc 3.2.1, but the problem occurs with the Redhat supplied 2.96 (?) as well, and I've successfully built on another machine with 3.2.1 so I think that's irrelevant.
The output with EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-v is:

Again, the generated gcc command succeeds by itself.
