And similar for mipsel-unknown-linux and mips-unknown-linux.

Could you make them known in the next release?

sorry for causing this bug. Simon Marlow fixed this in:

commit f0191c559d683b5bac12243c0db3b780b684799e
Author: Simon Marlow<marlo...@gmail.com>

      default to using @note for saving the linker opts (someone mentioned
      that it wasn't working on Alpha, because we had explicitly listed the
      arches rather than having a sensible fallback).


It seems that this fix did not make it into the 7.2.2 release. Was that
intentional? What must happen for it to be included in the next release?

Same for the change here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/changeset/0f0a3c97101ae7a877b76af4ac02993201c8af09

Sorry about missing those. We made 7.2.2 mainly to fix a few critical bugs that made 7.2.1 unusable for some people - bugs that caused it to generate code that crashed at runtime, with no suitable workaround. We also searched around for other critical bug fixes to include. Those two you mention above fell through the cracks I'm afraid.

7.4.1 will be out soon with all these fixes anyway.

Cheers,
        Simon
