Another point in testing ghc-6.10.0.20081007:
I make it from source on Debian Linux.
On 1 Gb - 2 GHz machine, it builds in 1400 sec.
On 512 Mb machine, it seems to overfill RAM, it becomes slow, and
this `make' creates difficulties for other processes (like emacs editor):
they start to hang, a bit, and the `top' command shows 85% RAM used by
this `make', now and then (and probably it takes more, sometimes).
This effect is in making ghc-6.10.0.20081007 from source by
ghc-6.10.0.20080921 on Debian Linux, on 512 Mb RAM i386-like machine.
This was not so in earlier GHC versions.
Can this be improved?
Because 512 Mb is much enough.
The last messages (after which I interruptred it) is
