Bugzilla Bug 212307

When trying to compile ghc-6.8.2 I ran into the following error:

this is similar to bug #145466. unfortunately the workaround we used in 6.4.2
does not work any more.

workaround was:

if use ia64 || use ppc64; then
  echo "GhcUnregisterised=YES" >> mk/build.mk
  echo "GhcWithNativeCodeGen=NO" >> mk/build.mk
  echo "GhcWithInterpreter=NO" >> mk/build.mk
  echo "SplitObjs=NO" >> mk/build.mk
  echo "GhcRTSWays := debug" >> mk/build.mk
fi
