Hi,
I'm the process of updating MacPort's ghc to 6.8.1 and adding support
for
Leopard (OS X 10.5) and have been having] some trouble.
The first task is just to get 6.8.1 running on Tiger (10.4). On PPC,
I use
ghc 6.4 as a bootstrap compiler and on Intel ghc 6.6. I am traveling
with
only a PPC PowerBook G4/OS X 10.4, so that's all I've been able to
test with.
The problem is that ghc 6.4 can not build 6.8.1. It seems related to
Cabal.
Using the 6.4 bootstrap compiler (with the version of Cabal that it
shipped
with) I get:

If I upgrade the bootstrap compiler's Cabal to 1.1.6.2, the build
still fails.
(The old version of Cabal was unregistered according the instructions
for working with older versions of ghc Cabal.)
