977,Booting from .hc files with GHC 6.6 malfunctions,guest,igloo,"The method of booting from .hc files as documented in chapter 9  of the GHC building guid does not work for GHC 6.6.

After having built GHC 6.6 the process `make hc-file-bundle Project=ghc` does not create a tarball, as the rts/AutoApply_thr.hc, rts/AutoApply_thr_p.hc, rts/AutoApply_thr_debug.hc and rts/AutoApply_debug.hc files cannot be found, nor can libraries/haskell-src/Language/Haskell/Parser.hs.

Modifying hc-files-to-go to not include those files and trying to use distrib/hc-build with a sourcetree resulting from unpacking the tarball created from the modified hc-files-to-go file over a pristine sourcetree does not result in a working
compile either. The process halts at trying to compile ghc-pkg, as no ghc-inplace is built yet, at that point.

The problem occurs on both Mac OS X (PPC) and Linux (i686).",bug,closed,normal,6.6.1,Build System,6.6,fixed,,,Unknown/Multiple,Unknown/Multiple,,Unknown,N/A,,,
