486,ghc-pkg to build ghci libraries on install,jgoerzen,nobody,"{{{
This is with GHC 6.4.1.

ghci is not supported on AIX.

I recently tried to isntall MissingH with Cabal.  I got:

# ./setup install
Installing: /usr/local/lib/MissingH-0.12.0 &
/usr/local/bin MissingH-0.12.0...
Registering MissingH-0.12.0...
Reading package info from "".installed-pkg-config"" ... done.
building GHCi library
/usr/local/lib/MissingH-0.12.0/HSMissingH-0.12.0.o...ld:
0706-027 The -x flag is ignored.
ld: 0706-012 The -- flag is not recognized.
ld: 0706-012 The -w flag is not recognized.
ld: 0706-012 The -h flag is not recognized.

ghc-pkg list does not see the package after this, either.

I'm not sure why Cabal seems to think it needs to build
a GHCi library, and it's even more concerning that
invalid flags are being given to ld.
