MSYS build - stage 2 problem

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

OK, ignoring the CVS problem for now, I went on to build GHC using MSYS.


* I applied Gour's patch to configure.ac etc
* I used ghc-6.0.1 as my build compiler
* I have environment variables set
	MAKE_MODE = UNIX
	SHELL = c:/msys/1.0/bin/sh
	PATH include c:/msys/1.0/bin
* I did configure thus:
	./configure --build=i386-unknown-mingw32
--with-gcc=c:/mingw/bin/gcc

Then 'make'.  And it successfully built the entire tree.  No problem
with hsc2hs.

The good thing is that I've become an MSYS believer!  It's a lot faster
than Cygwin.   Simpler too.  If I could solve this ssh problem, I'd
switch.


The difficulty is that I can't reproduce Gour's problem.  

Are you using Win98?  (Since that behaves differently wrt tmp files at
least.)


I'm not sure how to help now.  Maybe check out a totally fresh tree, and
then record the entire sequence of what happens when you go
	autoreconf
	./configure ...
	make
and send it.
