Note that if you want to use HEAD to build HEAD, then the only
supported version is the one that you are building (e.g. you can use
today's HEAD to build today's HEAD, but not to build tomorrow's HEAD).

As long as it would still build with 7.4, sure.


But actually, GHC back at least as far as 7.4 shipped with binary, so I
don't think we need to build it with the bootstrapping compiler any
more. Does the build go through if you just remove binary from
"PKGS_THAT_BUILD_WITH_STAGE0" in ghc.mk instead?


Thanks
