  * Remove a test for the specific kind of exception for nhc98 compatibility
  This was the check for ghc-pkg failing. We cannot check for the
  exception being an ExitException since that assumes ghc's
  representation of the Exception type, whereas nhc98 defines:
  type Exception = IOError

    M ./Distribution/Simple/GHC.hs -6 +2
