You mean -odir, don't you? :-)

Looks like an old friend of mine (problems on HP-UX some releases ago).
The problem is fptools/ghc/lib/cbits/timezone.h. It tries to be
clever about handling time info on different Unices. What does
"grep zone fptools/config.cache" yield? Here the output from our
Linux boxes:
ac_cv_altzone=${ac_cv_altzone=no}
ac_cv_struct_tm_zone=${ac_cv_struct_tm_zone=no}
ac_cv_type_timezone=${ac_cv_type_timezone=time_t}
Perhaps configure doesn't handle the new Redhat distribution correctly.
