When I try to build current darcs-unstable on AMD64 with ghc6.4 and gcc-3.3 I get the following errors:

ghc -cpp -package QuickCheck -package util -package parsec -O - funbox-strict-fields -Wall -Werror -I. -DHAVE_CURSES -DHAVE_CURL - c IsoDate.lhs

(Just guessing from your description, no actual testing done by me.) This could very well be a ghc 6.4 bug. Version 6.4.1is out since September 19th; if that's available on Debian/AMD64 and if you could test with that, that would be great.

Oh, and keep the "darcs changes --context" of the repo (with unrecorded changes of course) in which you can reproduce this, just in case a follow-up patch would change the source so that it doesn't trigger this ghc bug anymore.

It turned out to be a bug with gcc-3.3. I used gcc-4.0 instead and it compiles cleanly. I sent an email saying that to the bug tracker, but I'm not sure if it made it in because of a hiccup with the bug tracker. I don't think I will submit a bug to the gcc devs since it appears to be fixed in more recent versions of gcc. But, perhaps the ghc debian package should use a newer version of gcc. Any idea how I would submit that suggestion to the debian maintainers?

Thanks,
Jason
