Some more information (sorry for omitting it): running distrib/hc-build gives me this message: ==fptools== make boot -wr; in /home/mvanier/ghc/ghc-6.4/libraries/base ------------------------------------------------------------------------ make[1]: *** No rule to make target `System/CPUTime_hsc.c', needed by `depend'. Stop. make: *** [boot] Error 1 make: Leaving directory `/home/mvanier/ghc/ghc-6.4/libraries' There doesn't appear to be a file CPUTime_hsc.c in the distribution.
