eek! You really should have checked with us before trying to build the CVS
HEAD - it totally doesn't work at the moment, we still haven't quite
recovered from the large re-engineering process that will be GHCi.
You really want one of the branches, probably ghc-4-07-branch, which is the
branch from which the ghc-4.08.X releases are taken from. This branch has
the makeForeignObj fix you need, and is only a a small delta from 4.08.1.
(we're planning a 4.08.2 shortly).
so, "cvs co -r ghc-4-07-branch" is your friend.
Cheers,
Simon
