After a successful bootstrap, I tried something even braver:
Compiling GHC 4.00 again with the bootstrapped version, but this
time with SRC_HC_OPTS += -O added to mk/build.mk. This failed
rather quickly:
/home/inst/glasgow/linux/bin/ghc -O -cpp -fglasgow-exts -Rghc-timing -I. -IcodeGen
-InativeGen -Iparser
-iutils:basicTypes:types:hsSyn:prelude:rename:typecheck:deSugar:coreSyn:specialise:simplCore:stranal:stgSyn:simplStg:codeGen:absCSyn:main:reader:profiling:parser:nativeGen
-recomp -fvia-C -c utils/SST.lhs -o utils/SST.o -osuf o
SST.lhs:5: Warning:
Failed to find (optional) interface decl for
`PrelException!catchIO'
desired at
PrelIOBase.hi:99
SST.lhs:5: Could not find valid interface file `PrelException'
Compilation had errors
There seems to be some interface syntax confusion ('!' vs. '.')
in 4.00.
In anticipation of 4.01,
Sven
