There doesn't seem to be a reason why it shouldn't work; try calling 
"makebootable" again on the target partition. Maybe the partition 
offset is messed up (although I currently can't remember if that 
actually matters if there is only one Haiku partition).
Have you had a look at the volume menu in the boot loader?

I am not sure about the graphics, but the rest should be supported :)

You don't need to update "ld" when you're using GCC 2.95.3. The rest 
looks good, I think :)
And yes, Oliver's compiler is the recommended one - other compilers 
might not be able to compile our tree correctly.
