I'm really hoping this is just a GHC version issue, and nothing to do
with different shell quoting behaviour. Don: you were trying to build
with 6.0.x on OpenBSD, right?
There is a way around: namely to generate a Version.hs in the same way
that ghc/compiler/Makefile generates Config.hs. Backing off to this
solution might be the right way.
Cheers,
Simon
