is it possible to look into the fixer patch?

(moreover, I tried to build 6.6.1 with existing 6.8.1, but this is not also possible, due to lack of GHC compatibility even on this level) Unfortunately, GHC is moving target, and, IMO, only Perl people really support backward compatibility. Also, I would suggest to use ML instead of IRC, because IRC is too online game for may people to play. With many respect, Vadim.
