Compiling ghc 6.4 with ghc 5.04.3

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

That's weird.  We compile 6.4 with 5.04.3 every night.

Maybe you are using different flags than we are?

- can you send your build.mk
- plus a full transcript so we can see what flags are being passed to
ghc (e.g. -O2)

Is your source tree for 6.4 
	- the STABLE branch, or
	- the exact bits for 6.4 downloaded from the download site?

| Hi,
| 
| I'm trying to "bootstrap" 6.4 with a binary 5.04.3 on Debian Linux.
| 
| I get the following during linking:
|

| 
| Can anyone tell me
| 
| a) if 6.4 is supposed to compile with 5.04.3.
| b) if not, via what other version can I get from 5.04.3 to 6.4.
| c) if there is a newer binary package of ghc that works with glibc 2.2
| 
| Thanks,
| Axel.
