Comment (by daniel.is.fischer):

 patch applied manually because
 {{{
 dafis at linux:~/Haskell/RecentHZips/ghc-6.8.1> patch -b aclocal.m4 timer-
 create.patch
 ?
 patch: **** ed FAILED
 }}}
 then autoconf; ./configure, last lines of that are
 {{{
 checking for timer_settime... yes
 checking for a working timer_create()... yes
 checking for printf$LDBLStub... no
 checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
 checking for PAPI_library_init in -lpapi... no
 checking papi.h usability... no
 checking papi.h presence... no
 checking for papi.h... no
 configure: creating ./config.status
 config.status: creating mk/config.mk
 config.status: creating ghc.spec
 config.status: creating extra-gcc-opts
 config.status: creating docs/users_guide/ug-book.xml
 config.status: creating mk/config.h
 config.status: mk/config.h is unchanged
 config.status: executing mk/stamp-h commands
 dafis at linux:~/Haskell/RecentHZips/ghc-6.8.1>
 }}}
 and HAVE_TIMER_CREATE and USE_TIMER_CREATE are indeed still defined as 1,
 the line #define USE_TIMER_CREATE 1 in includes/ghcautoconf.h is still
 commented out.
