Under OS X 10.5.6: GHC 6.10.1 Release Candidate 1

[Gregory Wright]

I built ghc-6.10.1.20090314 on OS X 10.5.6 (Intel) using ghc 6.8.2 as
a bootstrap compiler.  The build was done using the MacPorts  
infrastructure.

Summary test results:

I haven't looked at the errors in detail, but generally the release  
candidate
seems OK.

BTW, a test target will be added to MacPorts's portfile for the 6.10.2  
release, which will
let you run the test suite by typing

	> sudo port test ghc

and if you then install the tested build, a record of the test will be  
saved in
$PREFIX/share/ghc-<version>/.

Best Wishes,
