Comment:
The tests should use "ghc", not "ghc-stage2". Currently this would fix the
tests for `BINDIST=YES`, but break them without it.
The driver is meant to normalise `ghc-stage2` to `ghc`, which would fix
this. However, it only does this on stderr, and this message is going to
stdout.
As per [http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2012-March/071033.html
this thread], I think the right fix is for `ghc/InteractiveUI.hs
showException` to send this message to stderr. Someone will need to look
at what, if anything, `showException` should continue sending to stdout.
I'm marking this as highest, because we should really get validate clean
again, regardless of whether or not `--fast` is being used.
