Comment:
Still happens with HEAD today:
{{{
[ 66 of 170] Compiling Foreign.Ptr ( Foreign/Ptr.hs,
dist/build/Foreign/Ptr.o )
ghc-stage2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 6.13.20100902 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
tcIfaceGlobal (local): not found:
base:GHC.Word.W#{d 6w}
[(32R, Type constructor `base:GHC.Word.Word{tc 32R}'),
(32U, Type constructor `base:GHC.Word.Word8{tc 32U}'),
(32X, Type constructor `base:GHC.Word.Word16{tc 32X}'),
(333, Type constructor `base:GHC.Word.Word32{tc 333}'),
(339, Type constructor `base:GHC.Word.Word64{tc 339}'),
...
}}}
additionally, it's not possible to build base outside a GHC tree, because:
{{{
Preprocessing library base-4.3.0.0...
Building base-4.3.0.0...
GHC/Constants.hs:7:0:
error: ../../../compiler/stage1/ghc_boot_platform.h: No such file or
directory
GHC/Constants.hs:9:0:
error: ../../../includes/HaskellConstants.hs: No such file or
directory
}}}
It would be nice if it was possible to build base independently of GHC,
for people trying to process base with the GHC API for exmple.
