ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.2.1 Release Candidate 1

[Manuel M T Chakravarty]

Ian,

The RC unfortunately doesn't build on Lion (OS X 10.7).  It needs two patches I recently pushed to the master branch (and suggested to be merged into stable).  They are the following patches:

  eb01af6ba964fe74375e461723b83597ef97155d (On OS X, use gcc-4.2 with Xcode 4 and up)
  30ccc9f39dd2cf1ad14e6116778aa1fd94526c19 (On OS X x86_64, use "-Wl,-no_pie" and "-Wl,-no_compact_unwind" to avoid linker warnings)

Manuel
