1. broken link in the building guide

 in: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-build-
 checks.html

 points to: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/set/bug-reporting.html

 This is what I see:

 {{{
 Not Found

 The requested URL /ghc/docs/latest/set/bug-reporting.html was not found on
 this server.
 Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server at www.haskell.org Port 80
 }}}

 2. automake not mentioned in "building and developing GHC".

 I think it deserves a mention next to autoconf, here:

 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/sec-pre-supposed.html

 I found that running autoreconf fails without it. Here's the output I got
 before installing automake:

 {{{
