Comment:
If you need base-4, then install a newer version of GHC.
With a recent GHC you get:
{{{
> runhaskell -f ghc-6.12.0.20091011 Setup.hs install
Setup.hs:1:0:
attempting to use module `Prelude' (./Prelude.hs) which is not loaded
}}}
still quite obscure, but at least not a panic. If you really want to
build the base package, you need to either use cabal-install, or compile
`Setup.hs` separately. But then you'll probably run into #3496.
