Hi,
for whatever reason, the prelude interface files for 2.07 aren't
entirely in sync with the library archive. Could you check to see if
you've got $gQ, $gW in IO.hi and whether libHS.a contains references
to the above symbols, i.e., could you reply to g-h-b with the output
of the following:
foo$ egrep '^[0-9]+ \$g(Q|W)' ghc/lib/required/IO.hi
foo$ egrep 'IO.\$g(Q|W)' ghc/lib/*/*.hi
foo$ nm -o libHS.a | egrep 'IO_Z36g(W|Q)_fast3'

Yes, last minute addition that didn't quite make it. Next version
should have it.
