Comment:
My bad. Sorry.
It is not reproducible any more on my PC. I should have filed this ticket
while I still remembered everything clearly.
However:
1. if I build 7.0.3 from sources the header file does not have #define
LIBUTIL_H . This is good.
2. but if I download 7.0.3 binary for Linux on x64 from here
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_0_3#x86_64linux
the header file has this
/* Define to 1 if you have the <libutil.h> header file. */
#define HAVE_LIBUTIL_H 1
Perhaps the release has been built on a Linux where libutil.h was present.
And on mine (Ubuntu 10.04.2) this header file is absent.
