I have now tried building ghc-6.8.3-2 on a mac pro and a macbook pro (both 
i386) and unfortunately ghc now builds perfectly, but any attempt to run the 
resulting executable just returns "Abort trap". I'm guessing that's not good 
news...

I've deleted everything and am recompiling from redownloaded sources on the mac 
pro, but I don't expect a different result. Any suggestions welcome.

Richard.
