I just googled this and found this:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2008-March/014498.html
That was linked from this discussion:
http://www.nabble.com/ghc-6.8.2-and-timer_create-error-td16160635.html

The second link seems to indicate that it's not a problem of antiquity but 
instead one
related to what configure finds when building GHC for that system.  In other 
words, it should
be possible to make a version of GHC locally that doesn't use timer_create and 
then your
student should be good to go.

Thanks for the pointer. But it means building GHC myself, which I have no experience with. :-(
