build failure on IA64 linux

Hello, while attempting to build ghc-6.12.3 on i64-unknown-linux-gnu platform I've got to this failure:

"inplace/bin/ghc-stage1"   -H32m -O    -package-name ghc-prim-0.2.0.0 -hide-all-packages -i -ilibraries/ghc-prim/. -ilibraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build -ilibraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build/autogen -Ilibraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build -Ilibraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build/autogen -Ilibraries/ghc-prim/.    -optP-include -optPlibraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h -package rts-1.0  -package-name ghc-prim -XCPP -XMagicHash -XForeignFunctionInterface -XUnliftedFFITypes -XUnboxedTuples -XEmptyDataDecls -XNoImplicitPrelude -O2 -XGenerics -fno-warn-deprecated-flags     -odir libraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build -hidir libraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build -stubdir libraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build -hisuf hi -osuf  o -hcsuf hc -c libraries/ghc-prim/./GHC/Generics.hs -o libraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build/GHC/Generics.o

Unmangled TAILCALL tokens remain after mangling at /home/kgardas/src/ghc-6.12.3/inplace/lib/ghc-asm line 1607, <INASM> line 1719.
make[1]: *** [libraries/ghc-prim/dist-install/build/GHC/Generics.o] Error 255
make: *** [all] Error 2

the platform provides ghc 6.8.2 and gcc 4.3.2 so I'm not able to use ghc 7.0.2 yet if I understand it correctly.

My guess is that the mangler for IA64 is broken, however I'm not able to find any wiki page which would explain what it should do to ghc novice.
