Could you be a bit more specific?  I've checked through the logs of our
nightly builds, and can't find any files that are being compiled with
plain 'ghc'.  

BTW, the right way to bootstrap ghc from an existing build is to
configure using the --with-ghc option, eg:

	$ ./configure
--with-ghc=/path/to/my/fptools/ghc/compiler/ghc-inplace

Cheers,
