I have reproduced this now also with ghc-6.12.1

(see http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2118484 for
more details).

What should one make of "Something is amiss; requested module
base-:Prelude differs from name found in the interface file
base-3.0.3.2:Prelude" here when building ghc??

Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this,
