Unable to compile ghc from darcs

[Donnie Jones]

Hello Colin,

In my working with GHC, I have found this page very helpful since it
succinctly outlines the steps for Rebuilding GHC and ensuring you are
up-to-date with everything GHC needs:
  http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Rebuilding

Best of luck!
