Hello, This is an attempt to address (a very small part of) this: On my PowerPC Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther, I think, not Tiger as I have written elsewhere), I have built the ghc-6.6 branch (of about 2006-Nov-07 19.00 UTC) using GHC-6.4.1.pkg.zip (The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.4.1) that I got from http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_641.html. I haven't studied the details of Cabal yet, so to work around an X11 problem (http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2006-November/032492.html), I did (1) darcs get of the ghc-6.6 branch; (2) sh darcs-all get (without --extra); (3) got through gmake of everything without failing; (4) sh darcs-all --extra get (to get the extra libraries, some of which (e.g. QuickCheck) are needed for some of the tests); and finally (5) repeated gmake of everything, failing at the X11 build, but getting through the QuickCheck build.
Then I "darcs got" the ghc-6.6/testsuite and ran the tests. My hope was that I would be able to reproduce something similar to http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2006-October/011457.html, although under different circumstances. So far, I have only analysed the barton-mangler-bug test in detail. I have produced an experimental darcs patch that solves some problems, while possibly introducing others: http://thorkilnaur.dk/~tn/GHC/testsuite/patch/barton_mangler_bug_patch_1.patch . Comments to this would be most welcome.
