gmp for ghc was taking from the ghc-sources, but maybe my gcc uses
/usr/local/include/gmp.h nevertheless (because that's a system path).

I see "ghc-mtl" for the first time, too.

Cabal usually works fine for me. It's a typical error when tar was used
instead of gtar.

I can explain this one. I ran the testsuite after having installed ghc
and HAIFA (not on hackage) in the user base and the other packages
globally. The inplace compiler being tested does not know my additional
global packages but still looks in the user base.

"ghc-pkg find-module A" does not show a module A (Maybe an early test
left a module A in the user base.)

Thanks for looking through it. I don't know when I'll have time for tickets.
