static relative offsets (eg .long l1-l2) are restricted to 32 bits on
x86-64 due to lack of support in the linker. The codegen, NCG and
runtime work around this, using 32-bit offsets instead of 64.
However, we were missing a workaround for vector tables, and it
happened to work by accident because the offsets were always positive
and resolved by the assembler. The bug was exposed by using the NCG
to compile the RTS, where the offsets became negative, again by
accident.

Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
