[Haskell-cafe] Problems porting ghc6-6.10.1 to GNU/Hurd using 6.8.2

[Svante Signell]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to upgrade Debian GNU/Hurd ghc6.8.2 to 6.10.1 (and
further from there, due to requirements of ghc and haddock versions),
and get stuck on configuring the random-1.0.0.1 library in stage1. I
have tried versions of ghc6 are 6.10.1+dfsg1-1 to 6.10.1+dfsg1-5 (the
latest not requiring ghc6.10 due to haddock 2.4.2). The commands are
shown below: (added the -verbose=3 parameter)

cd ghc6-6.10.1+dfsg1/libraries

(sorry for the missing \ due to cut-and-paste to the mailer)

( cd random && /home/srs/DEBs/ghc/ghc6-6.10.1+dfsg1/libraries/cabal-bin
--verbose=3 /usr/bin/ghc6 /home/srs/DEBs/ghc/ghc6-6.10.1

Hangs here!

Running manually works OK!!
/home/srs/DEBs/ghc/ghc6-6.10.1\
+dfsg1/utils/ghc-pkg/install-inplace/bin/ghc-pkg "dump" "--global"

Gives a lot of output here...

Below is the ghc-pkg script:

cat /home/srs/DEBs/ghc/ghc6-6.10.1\
+dfsg1/utils/ghc-pkg/install-inplace/bin/ghc-pkg
PKGCONF=/home/srs/DEBs/ghc/ghc6-6.10.1\
+dfsg1/inplace-datadir/./package.conf
exec /home/srs/DEBs/ghc/ghc6-6.10.1\
+dfsg1/utils/ghc-pkg/install-inplace/libexec/ghc-pkg --global-conf\
$PKGCONF ${1+"$@"}

I've tried changing the shell from dash to bash but no changes. I also
tried to escape some of the variables in the gkc-pkg shell script but
without any luck.

Anybody can help me here??
