Comment:

 I don't understand. "Porting GHC to a new platform"
 (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting) says to run
 {{{ perl boot }}}. The GHC build process as described in that document
 does NOT detect the location of Perl, rather it assumes Perl is in {{{
 /usr/bin }}}. This part of the build process fails on Haiku unless the
 shebang and system call are changed. And the rest of the build process
 depends on this.
