i'm looking at buildbot test results after my patches were applied,
and could use some advice on how to address the issues:

1.from the daily report

macgyver PPC OSX head:     pass

New unexpected test failures:
   ghci024  1  macgyver PPC OSX head

according to buildbot log, ghci falls over on ':set -package ghc'

is this expected or does it need looking into? meanwhile,
should i mark ghci024 as 'expect_fail_if_platform("ppc-osx-head")'?

|-- :set -package ghc
|
|Stderr:
|package flags have changed, ressetting and loading new packages...
|ghc-6.9.20071107: internal error: unconditional relative branch out of range: jump island out of range
|    (GHC version 6.9.20071107 for powerpc_apple_darwin)
|    Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

2. not in the daily report (because 'lost' after running tests?),
   but the buildbot log for 'x86_64-linux-head-unreg' says

http://darcs.haskell.org/buildbot/head/x86-64%20Linux%20head%20unreg/builds/167/step-runtestsuite/1

|    -  -fasm-mangling
|    +  -fno-asm-mangling

can i see this configuration default in the testsuite?
is 'config.unregistered' the thing to use?

3. is the testsuite shared between HEAD and STABLE?

it seems that ghci023-025 appear as failing in STABLE
logs, which is to be expected as the patches they test
have been applied to HEAD only.

shouldn't there be an 'expect_fail_if_compiler_lt('ghc','6.9')'
for any such test, if the suite is indeed shared?

thanks,
claus
