making 6.6-candidate

[Serge D. Mechveliani]

Dear GHC team,

I am trying to make  ghc-6.5.20060831  from source  by  ghc-6.4.1
under  Linux, i386-unknown.

It has got to

/home/mechvel/ghc/6.4.1/inst/bin/ghc -H16m -O  -istage1/utils 
 -istage1/basicTypes  -istage1/types  -istage1/hsSyn  -istage1/prelude
  -istage1/rename  -istage1/typecheck  -istage1/deSugar  -istage1/coreSyn 
  -istage1/specialise  -istage1/simplCore  -istage1/stranal  
  -istage1/stgSyn  -istage1/simplStg  -istage1/codeGen  -istage1/main 
 -istage1/profiling  -istage1/parser  -istage1/cprAnalysis  
 -istage1/ndpFlatten  -istage1/iface  -istage1/cmm  -istage1/nativeGen 
 -Istage1 -cpp -fglasgow-exts -fno-generics -Rghc-timing -I. -IcodeGen 
 -InativeGen -Iparser -package unix -ignore-package lang -recomp 
 -Rghc-timing 
 -H16M '-#include "cutils.h"' -i../compat -ignore-package Cabal  
 -funbox-strict-fields 
 -c parser/Lexer.hs -o stage1/parser/Lexer.o  -ohi stage1/parser/Lexer.hi

 
and looped at this point during about 50 minutes, without any report.

Finally, it was done, and now, I hope, it will make the rest.

But I wonder whether this loop is suspicious.
The command `top' has been showing 
                                           CPU   %MEM
  20633 mechvel   ...                      99.9  2.1   ...  ghc-asm
 
for 50 minutes  (`as' is assembly, and who is ghc-asm, I wonder).
The machine is

    i-686, 512 Mb RAM,

    vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
    cpu family      : 6
    model           : 8
    model name      : Pentium III (Coppermine)
    stepping        : 3
    cpu MHz         : 601.371
    cache size      : 256 KB


autoreconf  has reported it could not find this and that, but it is,
            probably, all right (?)

config.log  is

---------------------------------------
...
It was created by The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System 
configure 6.5.20060831, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.59.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --prefix=/home/mechvel/ghc/6.6.pre/inst
  
uname -m = i686
uname -r = 2.4.27-2-686-smp
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 SMP Mon May 16 16:55:31 JST 2005
