Re: ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.6.1 Release Candidate 1

I've tested this on Ubuntu 12.04 running on ARM (this is using ARM 
hard-float ABI) with Ubuntu's provided LLVM 3.0 and it compiles well. 
Testsuite summary is attached. We still do have some work to be done on 
ARM Linker as majority of failing tests are GHCi related.

Cheers,
Karel

I cannot test much, as long as the text package cannot be installed.
dependency integer-gmp needs to be increased and:

-bash-3.00$ cabal build
Building text-0.11.2.2...
Preprocessing library text-0.11.2.2...
[26 of 39] Compiling Data.Text.IO.Internal ( Data/Text/IO/Internal.hs, 
dist/build/Data/Text/IO/Internal.o )

Data/Text/IO/Internal.hs:35:24:
     Module `Prelude' does not export `catch'

Could somebody please apply my patch (see attached) so the FreeBSD
builder clients could produce working binaries again?

Thanks,
Gabor

Thanks!

Seems to build ok for me on Fedora 17.

Small thing: I noticed that all libraries got bumped except "pretty" -
I assume that is intentional?

On PowerPc I get this:

    compiler/nativeGen/X86/Regs.hs:61:1:
        Warning: The import of `CmmCallConv' is redundant
               except perhaps to import instances from `CmmCallConv'
             To import instances alone, use: import CmmCallConv()

which in HEAD was fixed by the application of this patch:

    commit 2f7c578574a9d5e9b4d95847abc3d1cb1b35336d
