Re: Compiling 2.04 with 2.02, problems

[Simon L Peyton Jones]

Peter,  

Sorry for the long silence about your bug report.

2.02 wasn't advertised as strong enough to boot GHC itself.  If you want
to compile 2.04, use 0.29.  Even 2.04 can't boot itself.  2.05 will be able
to.... I have an optimised build going right now!

| 
| I could probably make do with 2.02, but as has been noted before here,
| it doesn't like solaris2.4, so I figured that this (in build.mk)

| 
|  BUILD_LD_OPTS += -lc -L/usr/ucblib -lucb
| 
| Or is there an easier way to patch the compiler, preferably in a
| binary dist?
