I don’t think the Makefile works outside the ghc tree. Here is how I
compile the test programs individually:

ghc --make -DTESTING -i -idist/build -i. -idist/build/autogen -Idist/build/autogen -Idist/build -Iinclude -optP-include -optPdist/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h  -hidir dist/build -stubdir dist/build -O -fregs-graph -O2 -XHaskell98 -XDeriveDataTypeable -XStandaloneDeriving -XMagicHash -XRank2Types -XCPP  tests/map-properties.hs

I think I got this line from "cabal build -v".

Greetings,
Joachim
