Alas, it's even in yesterday's ghc-4.03 from CVS.

I'm always compiling ghc with the latest installed version, e.g.
Friday's ghc is compiled with Thursday's. Additionally, hsc is compiled
with -O, so I can't comment on non-optimised builds. My RPM patch file
is appended. But on Linux you can always use the pre-built RPMS on
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/local/pms/
BTW, I'd like to get some feedback from RedHat users: Byron Hale
reported some problems with the Hugs RPM (the dynamic linker tells
someting about an undefined symbol __register_frame_info).
Success/Failure stories are highly welcome.
Cheers,
Sven
