[Haskell-cafe] ghc 6.8.2 and timer_create error

[Anatoly Yakovenko]

I have a gentoo box with ghc 6.8.2, and the binaries that ghc builds
on that box do not work on redhat EL 4 or ubuntu 7.10.  When I try to
run the binary, i get an error:

Main: timer_create: Invalid argument

so is there any way to get ghc to build a binary that doesn't use
timer_create?  or is that something that is configured when ghc itself
is built, if so, how do I turn that feature off?

Thanks
