Summary: build fails on Linux/sparc (genprimopcode: parse error at)

Initial Comment:
Build fails when building ghc 6.4.x (tested 6.4 and 6.4.1) on Linux/
sparc and using ghc 6.4 binaries for bootstrap:

mkdir stage1/ndpFlatten
mkdir stage1/iface
mkdir stage1/cmm
mkdir stage1/ghci
Creating main/Config.hs ...
done.
Creating stage1/ghc_boot_platform.h...
Done.
sparc-pld-linux-gcc -E  -undef -traditional -P -I../includes    -x c 
prelude/primops.txt.pp | grep -v '^#pragma GCC' > prelude/primops.txt
../utils/genprimopcode/genprimopcode --data-decl          < prelude/
primops.txt > primop-data-decl.hs-incl
genprimopcode: parse error at (line 579, column 1):
unexpected "\t"
expecting "primop", "section" or "thats_all_folks"
make[2]: *** [primop-data-decl.hs-incl] Error 1

make[1]: *** [boot] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/users/builder/rpm/BUILD/ghc-6.
4.1/ghc'

The same problem doesn't exists when using ghc 6.2.x for 
bootstrapping (generated primops.txt is the same in both cases, 
tested via md5sum). Problem doesn't exists on other arch like x86, 
ppc, amd64,  too.

isSpace doesn't work correctly

[builder@fiskus ~]$ cat Test.hs
import Char
main = print (isSpace '\t')
[builder@fiskus ~]$ ghc Test.hs -o Test && ./Test
False
[builder@fiskus ~]$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.4.1

more complete test:
[builder@fiskus ~]$ ghc Test.hs -o Test && ./Test
[True,False,True,True,False,True]
[builder@fiskus ~]$ cat Test.hs
import Char; main = print (map isSpace " \t\n\r\f\v")

perhaps there's something odd about your gcc.  Can you
upload a copy of primiops.txt?  (it'll be in
ghc/compiler/prelude).
