Two oddities I've noticed with ghc-4.03, win+cygnus binary build:
The -ansi flag makes gcc go berserk on the generated code. I stopped.
'getEnv "PATH"' returns, not the value of PATH, but the whole environment.
Which is also handy, but not what I understood the report to specify,
and not wha

Having recently dl'd the same thing, looks a lot like ghc-4.03 to me...
I presume there's not a binary build for 4.04 (at least, not yet).
Both GHC 4.04 and Hugs 98 agree on violating the Haskell 98
definition by including `fromInt' into `Num' and `toInt'
into `Integral'. GHC's `Prelude.lhs' says in the export list
Num((+), (-), (*), negate, abs, signum, fromInteger, fromInt{-glaExt-}),
[...]
Integral(quot, rem, div, mod,

Assuming that GHC includes an appropriate default implementation for
fromInt (via fromInteger), does it make any difference?
