Hi Thorkil,
Many thanks for all your testing!

I don't think we'll go out of our way to support the 6.6 branch; testing
and keeping it working on 6.8, 6.10 and 6.12 is enough of a challenge!
Still, it's useful to know that it definitely doesn't work, so people
won't attempt it with false hope.

Yup, thanks!

Interesting. I've just done a validate here on amd64/Linux, hacking the
script so that threads=1, and I got:
New build system: 31:17.90
Old build system: 32:55.22
(the new build system builds less stuff, e.g. it doesn't build haddock
or haddock the libraries, so we'd expect it to be faster).
I'll try builds with multiple threads, and also timing OS X and Windows
builds.

Hmm, what does "make --version" say?
Can you check it's the root ghc.mk it's complaining about please, by
adding a blank line to the start of the file and checking that the line
number changes?
(just rerunning
make -r --no-print-directory -f ghc.mk phase=0 just-makefiles
should be enough to get the error again)

I've pushed a patch to fix this one (by not building editline; we'll be
using haskelline for 6.12 anyway).
Thanks
Ian
