Comment(by carter):

 OK, so if you checkout GHC code with the hash  {{{
 be66c4ef548a06a3eecc8e1eee0957884ce6ec98  }}} from april 21st 1230pm by
 Ian Lynagh, ghc builds via llvm.  (yes, llvm 3.2 ).  I'll run the test
 suite on that version to make sure everything is kosher.



 the make settings I did were as follows  (which isn't in the standard
 sample make file ). Settings done mostly to speed up the build process.


 I'll check that current HEAD fails with those settings then proceed to
 start incrementally doing the git bisection process over the next day or
 so
