GHCi doesn't like me, or can we have -K again?

| Currently, when I try to build GHCi with a non-GHCi 4.11, I

| (in the second stage).  This is a bit strange as all three
| stages of 4.11 build successfully in the automatic build of
| Feb 16.  However, I don't know whether that automatic build

We're using a standard 4.08.1 / 4.08.2 to build our stage1's.
(I don't think you can use anything older than that.)

I too would really like to see -K back again.  Having to jump
between -K and +RTS -K -RTS is confusing.
