<<loop>>: It's dead, Jim...

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

| In my ongoing quest to get a boostrappable GHC-4.09, I'm
| currently stuck again. After fiddling around with Linker.h
| (see my previous mail) I was able to build 4.09 with 4.08.1,
| but the 2nd stage compilation fails with:
| 
|    ...
|    /usr/bin/ghc -cpp -fglasgow-exts -Rghc-timing -I. 
| -IcodeGen -InativeGen -Iparser 
| -iutils:basicTypes:types:hsSyn:prelude:rename:typecheck:deSuga
r:coreSyn:specialise:simplCore:stranal:stgSyn:simplStg:codeGen:absCSyn:main:
profiling:parser:usageSP:| cprAnalysis:javaGen:ghci:nativeGen  -recomp -O
-c 
| types/TyCon.lhs -o types/TyCon.o -osuf o
| 
|    <<loop>>

I think this is my fault...(a bad fix to a missing error message).

But in general, remember that the HEAD is going to be in flux for several
weeks while ghci is born.  That's why we made a branch, which will hopefully
be
more stable.  The branch does have generics.
