ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.10.1 Release Candidate 2

My previous email was about the x86_64 bindist GHC 7.10.1-rc2.  I’ve now added i386 support to Halcyon, and it appears only the x86_64 version works fine on CentOS 6 (6.5), while the i386 version fails to configure:

   checking for path to top of build tree... utils/ghc-pwd/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: symbol lookup error: libraries/integer-gmp2/dist-install/build/libHSinteg_21cuTlnn00eFNd4GMrxOMi-ghc7.10.0.20150123.so: undefined symbol: __gmpn_andn_n
   configure: error: cannot determine current directory
