[Haskell-iPhone] Can anyone help me test GHC-iOS compiler?

Hi Stephen/all,

I got LLVM 3.0 installed and started building again but hit a very strange
problem now wherein tons of layout-based code (as in
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Indentation) is suddenly erroring out,
e.g.
compiler/coreSyn/CoreUnfold.lhs:481:2:
    parse error (possibly incorrect indentation or mismatched brackets)
(some files also seem to be triggered by mixed tabs and spaces)

I can fix the errors one by one by converting the code to use more concrete
indentation (like
do
    thing1
    thing2
)
but it's all over the tree.

Anyone have any idea what might cause this?

Cheers
Luke
