According to fingerprints the trees are identical. I diffed both directories and there are some minor differences, but I think these come from the fact that ghc-working never contained build artifacts, whereas ghc-validate was cleaned with 'make maintainer-clean', which might have been inaccurate. > Personally, I think the current mix of git submodules and non-git > submodule dependencies is horrible.

I admit I don't understand motivation for using both git submodules and non-git submodules. What worries me the most is unreliability of the test suite. After getting 200 test failures mentioned in the previous mail, I ran the validation again and got only 3 failures. I ran one of the failed tests manually and it passed, leaving me with two known failures.
