Use of MutableByteArray in GHC/Conc.lhs ?

Hi,

Here is a question about a non-standard build from a first-timer ...

I am slowly making progress, in a drunken walk kind of way, building  
GHC 6.7.20070518 (the one from the LambdaVM tree). Whilst most of my 
problems can be side stepped by tweaking the configure options and my 
libraries, I am puzzled by the error below. Why is MutableByteArray 
being used? Isn't it deprecated? Its appearance does sit inside #ifdef 
mingw32_HOST_OS so maybe it hasn't been noticed.

Mark

./configure --enable-java --build=i386-unknown-mingw32 
--with-gcc=c:/software/mingw/bin/gcc --with-ld=c:/software/mingw/bin/ld.exe
