Hello Simon and Colin,
This information is available on the Prequisites page of the GHC wiki;
however, it's buried at the bottom of the page. I have updated the
page to mention that a stable release version of GHC is needed when
setting up for Linux and Windows, and I have changed the "Other"
section to be called "Details" since this section describes in detail
the software necessary for building GHC.

Thanks Donnie. I've also just modified the configure script so it issues
the following helpful message:
configure: error:
/home/simonmar/builds/testing/ghc/stage2-inplace/ghc is a development
snapshot of GHC, version 6.11
Bootstrapping using this version of GHC is not supported, and may not
work. Use --enable-bootstrap-with-devel-snapshot to try it anyway,
or --with-ghc to specify a different GHC to use.
Cheers,
Simon
