#7202: Linux bindists don't work on new distros

-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
All of the binary distributions are built on systems that have
libgmp.so.3. On newer Linux distros (I use Fedora 17), libgmp.so.3 is no
longer available because it's been superseded by a new version of GMP.
This problem will probably become more widespread as uptake of the new
version of GMP spreads.
One possible workaround would be to ship with a copy of libgmp.so.3 that
is installed along with GHC if there isn't already a copy present.
