Validate broken on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion

[Christiaan Baaij]

I'm still puzzled as to how validate failed on snow leopard, but is working correctly on my mountain lion machine after fixing the warning in the primitive package.
Ben: does validate go through on your machine after patching the primitive package?

Here are my results for 'validate --slow':

GHC being really really really broken between releases is probably the single HUGEST barrier to more people getting involved in helping GHC dev. And I think thats a huge problem we need to take more seriously.
