7.8.1-candidate fail

[Tyler Huffman]

I added a comment in the ticket, but it looks like Debian Squeeze is using
libgmp3-dev 2:4.3.2, which was the same version that I had when I was
running into this issue.

Using an updated version of libgmp3-dev will fix the issue, but I'm not
entirely sure if we need to consider supporting the packages in Debian
Squeeze repository since Debian Wheezy is the new stable distribution, and
it uses libgmp-dev 2:5.0.5. Someone with more intimate knowledge of GHC
development might be able to speak on this issue.


Regards,
Tyler Huffman
