[GHC] #3077: 'make' fails in utils (6.11)

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

No need to apologise; quite the reverse.  Well-characterised bug reports are valuable.

(Not that I understand this particular one.)

Our current plan is to put out a release candidate of 6.10.2 in a matter of days, and then make the new build system the top priority, with a release candidate in on the order of a couple of weeks.  It's unsatisfying fixing the old system when the new one is nearly ready!

| Reporter:  nr      |          Owner:
|     Type:  bug     |         Status:  new
| Priority:  normal  |      Component:  Build System
|  Version:  6.11    |       Severity:  normal
| Keywords:          |       Testcase:
|       Os:  Linux   |   Architecture:  x86
| -------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
|  In order to get 'make boot' to work in compiler, I tried running 'make' in
|  utils.
|  Something's off with configuration it appears.  I'm attaching full output.
|
|  Sorry to keep submitting these things with no patches.  I don't have a
|  strong enough picture of what's ''supposed'' to happen during build to be
|  confident of making things better not worse.
