Currently Harbormaster only runs `make test`, not `make slowtest`.<br>
Consequently, `slowtest` is generally rather broken, even on Linux.<br>
Every once in a while I look at it and try to pare down the failures,<br>
but it's an up-hill battle.<br>

That sounds right to me.<br>

I currently don't validate the binary distribution tarballs. Instead I<br>
judge validation state from Harbormaster's testing of the ghc-8.2<br>
branch.<br>
<br>
Over the summer we intend on revamping our CI infrastructure, which<br>
should make it easier to do nightly runs of slowtest (and perhaps<br>
provide nightly or even per-commit binary distributions).<br>

That would be great. I had a quick look at this and it looks quite<br>
likely that the simplifier is looping: even -fsimpl-tick-factor=1000<br>
doesn't succeed. This looks like a real regression.<br>
<br>
