Building GHC on Mac OS 10.2.1

[Thorkil Naur]

Hello,

Sometimes, ghc complains about '#' for me when the C preprocessor has not been 
run and there is an unexpected #include or #define in the way. Also, as I 
read

ifeq "$(ghc_ge_603)" "YES"
# These modules are provided in GHC 6.3+
EXCLUDED_SRCS += \
        System/Directory/Internals.hs
...
endif

in compat/Makefile, the particular compilation that you are stuck on here 
should be excluded if you were using ghc-6.3 or newer. I am using a ghc-6.4.1 
and building ghc-6.6 does not involve building 
compat/System/Directory/Internals.o.

Best regards
Thorkil
