Error compiling GHC/Num.lhs

I'm sorry, that's my fault.

I have two patches that should fix this:

One for libraries/Cabal,
   http://int-e.home.tlink.de/haskell/Cabal-fix-installIncludeFiles.patch
and another for libraries/base:
   http://int-e.home.tlink.de/haskell/base-install-includes.patch

The semantics for the includes: and install-includes: fields in cabal
files has changed; the patch against base adds an install-includes
field to the base.cabal file that uses the new semantics. I was going
to send this patch in now anyway.

I'm afraid I missed the interaction of the install directory and the
package registration, and obviously I didn't test this properly. So
I revert the behaviour back to always creating the include directory.
