Update to ghc-6.12.1.20100330 (which is ghc-6.12.2-rc1) for testing. For those who already tried the version I mentioned some days ago: there are some additional small changes to ghc.port.mk, so better use the new diff.
This is a little bit large, so if you want to give it a test, feel free to fetch it from http://openbsd.dead-parrot.de/ghc.diff Notes: - Bootstrapping is done using precompiled binaries, since .hc bootstrapping still doesn't work. I really hate this. - libgmp is currently disabled, because I didn't yet hack the GHC build system to use the system libgmp instead of the patched one included in GHC. - The testsuite currently doesn't work, because there are some parts calling the test scripts via `/usr/bin/env python' instead of using the PYTHON environment variable. - The ghc package now includes haddock, obsoleting devel/haddock. This may change again in the future. - CLDouble has been removed from GHC some time ago, because it was an alias for double (AFAIK there's now support for long double in GHC). As this isn't a really big problem, it currently breaks c2hs, which I'll mark broken temporarily before committing the ghc update. I'll send around diffs for some additional ports that need to be updated and could need some testing (especially darcs and xmonad). You'll need a very current ports tree (as of: from today) to test those diffs.
