Comment:

 Gracjan says (email to ghc-devs): I went into the rabbit hole that starts
 here

 So far I know that:
 1.      fibon is not built regularly by any CI and it bitrotted
 significantly.
 2.      Makefile's for fibon use undefined variables like
 INPLACE_HSC2HS_PGM. Probably those were sourced from ghc/mk/*.mk, but not
 now.
 3.      Haskell courses are pre-AMP (this is easiest to fix).
 4.      Makefile's build object files one by one and that fails in case
 modules depend on each other. ghc-paths.mk sorts objects and that gives
 wrong compile order.
 Does anybody know a commit-hash or date when it did compile last time?

 Knowing that this module (fibon) wasn't used for so long does it make
 sense to fix it? How about removing it?
