Comment(by singpolyma):

 I just ran into this again.  As far as I can tell it *always* happens on
 the first attempt to build GHC, and then does not recur if you just type
 `make` again.

Comment(by guest):

 I just want to speak out in support of this feature.  I would prefer en-
 dashes over em-dashes though.  (That would be consistent with the TeX
 convention of -- for en-dashes and --- for em-dashes.)

[GHC] #7496: Support for JavaScript as an official GHC output language

 JavaScript is becoming an alternative to JVM, the write once run everwhere
 dream. JavaScript runs in Web browsers (ECMAScript), in desktops and
 servers (Node.js), in mobile apps (PhoneGap). If GHC added JavaScript as
 an official output language, it would greatly increase the platforms on
 which Haskell code runs, encouraging more developers to give Haskell a
 try.

 For example, there are few well-supported solutions for single-language
 multi-platform on mobile devices. Ruby, Python, and Java come close, but
 the toolchains for these require a lot of effort on the part of the mobile
 app developer (try debugging Ruby, Ruboto, JRuby, and Java all for one
 application!), and components of the toolchain aren't always free
 (RubyMotion). If Haskell supported mobile development in a big way,
 developers would consider adopting Haskell as their multi-platform
 language of choice. We just need to put more effort into a standard
 JavaScript backend to GHC.

 The good news is that efforts for HS -> JS compilers, such as [Fay|http
 ://fay-lang.org/], are already underway. Perhaps the community would be
 interested in growing Fay, and eventually backporting it into GHC proper.
 It's amazing what you can do when Haskell runs everywhere.

 Yes, and an implementation is well advanced; see [wiki:OverloadedLists].
 I've cc'd the George, Achim, and Wejers, who are doing it.
