Good that you ask. Can't remember why it was necessary back in april to build ghc-6.10.2 on dragonfly-2.2.1. Cannot reproduce the problem today with ghc-6.10.4 on dragonfly-2.4.1. I am glad, that we do not need this define any more. I think it was a ugly workaround at best. _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
