Using 'git bisect' on the GHC tree

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Hi all,

I am trying to track down a build failure on PowerPC that was
introduced some time this year.

Usually, the easiest way to do this is by using 'git bisect'.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work with the GHC tree since its easy to
go to a GHC revision which is incompatible with one of the many GHC
sub-modules (eg Cabal).

Given a GHC git commit hash, is there a way to get the various
libraries into a state where I can build the GHC version specified
by the hash?

Regards,
Erik
