Well I was wondering the same...  Of course it would be nice to see it
in some 1.10.x release, but if it is only needed by Fedora then
we can probably carry it as a patch for now. I am not sure if all
the potential code paths have been tested, though so far it "worksforme".
Anyway it is probably sensible to leave it for ghc-7.0.3 or later
at this point. :)

(For my next trick I want to teach ghc to be able to live without
static libraries (so that --disable-library-vanilla will actually
be useful): I think that it still doesn't like missing static libs?)

Thanks, Jens
