In a previous message I was able to update GHC to 6.10.2, but it failed a significant number of tests in GHC's regression test suite, and with that build something weird happens to ghci where it outputs control characters and backspaces as ^H. Probably not picking up libedit or something. With GHC 6.10.{3,4} they've moved off libedit, instead using a Haskell-based library, haskeline. When I tried to build it, the compilation always broke down about an hour in complaining that that library, Haskeline, was missing. I assume it has to be included in the bootstrap package (and currently isn't). I'm not quite sure how to go about fixing that. Anyway, I mailed out a Makefile patch for my 6.10.2 stuff (Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 8:29 PM); I can pull it off my email and send it to you (or anyone else) off-list if you want. Sucks :(
