Comment:

 Simon, I didn't see any serious attempts to get buildbots going. Iirc I
 fixed "make install" to that extent where regression tests could have been
 run.

 Also I do not see any reason, how establishing base line quality is
 related to deployment upgrading and installation lifetime issues. If GHC
 doesn't have a way of regression testing shared libs in whatever
 conceptual broken they may be now than GHC will fail to deliver. That's
 simply because shared libs will bitrot in the ongoing development.

 As I can't put this bug into an unassigned status, I hope simon you don't
 mind if I reassign it to you.
