MessageHi Simon.

> maybe you need to rebuild the compiler you are compiling *with*?

That's exactly what I'm trying to do with the latest CVS Head, so I assume
you mean to try switching back to the Glasgow team's 5.02 or  5.03 releases
to build.  As the compiler I am using was built with the GHC team 5.03
snapshot and using CVS head of about 26 April, I guess I'll try the most
recent GHC 5.02 this time.

As an aside, building GHC from scratch on a 300 Mhz 192 MB PC takes all day
unfortunately.

I am also accumulating trivial but numerous changes to the HDirect tree to
get it to build with 5.03, so I wouild like to get CVS write access to fold
that stuff back in (if you trust me after the above fiasco!)

Thanks
