Comment(by mimosa):

 I think I am nearly there, but the build fails a few of the tests in the
 fast test - several from perf/compiler, T5430 from lib/Time, and spec-
 inline from simplCore/should-compile. The building instructions say that
 shouldn't happen, that *everything* in the fast test should pass or fail
 as appropriate. I have tried asking on glasgow-haskell-users without
 success. I would be grateful for any pointers, either to other sources of
 information, or if you can tell me that that level of test failure doesn't
 really matter - perhaps just taking a little bit of the edge off
 performance?
