 I am trying to reproduce bug #8464 with the newest ghc;  not available in
 my repositories,  so I am trying to install it manually.

 With a freshly downloaded and unpacked ghc-7.6.3-x86_64-unknown-
 linux.tar.bz2,
 and after cleanly installing libgmp.3 (from source of gmp-4.3.1)

 johan at morla:~/work/ghc-7.6.3\> ./configure
 checking for path to top of build tree... utils/ghc-pwd/dist-
 install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: error while loading shared libraries:
 libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 configure: error: cannot determine current directory
 johan at morla:~/work/ghc-7.6.3\> pwd -P
 /home/johan/work/ghc-7.6.3
 johan at morla:~/work/ghc-7.6.3\> whereis libgmp
