7.8 Release Update

Austin,

My mk/build.mk contains just one line:

InstallExtraPackages = YES

> If you have a build tree, you can do:
> 
> $ make show VALUE=GhcLibWays
> 
> which should print out a string containing the enabled Ways.

It printed:

----
% make show VALUE=GhcLibWays
make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk show
GhcLibWays="v p dyn"
----

This does not install dynamic libraries for profiling in my
environment.

What's are missing? And why aren't they set by default?
