The first patch to the Glasgow Haskell compiler, version 0.26, is in
pub/haskell/glasgow/ghc-0.26-PATCH-1 on ftp.dcs.glasgow.ac.uk (~20KB);
the i386-*-linuxaout binaries are in
ghc-0.26-pl1-i386-unknown-linuxaout.tar.gz (2.5MB).  There is no
linuxaout profiling "bundle", because it doesn't work (yet?).

[From the patch:] The following groups of people may be interested in
[this patch's] effects.

* Linux people: the fix to ghc/includes/COptWraps.lh is critical; it's
  why Linux binaries were not released when the other 0.26 ones were.
  The now-released ghc-0.26-pl1 binaries *already include* this fix.

* People trying "Parallel Haskell": the fixes in here are pretty
  important.  If you are working from source, just apply this patch
  and carry on normally.  If you have a binary distribution, get in
  touch and we'll try to get you a new libHSrts_mp.a.

* HP-PA users: the one-line fixes to ghc-asm-hppa.(l)prl can be
  applied by hand, even if you have a binary distribution.  The fix
  only matters if you are running Perl 5.

Other changes are of no great consequence.
