Comment:

 Status update on the ghc port:

 As of today, 20 Dec 07, I have successfully built 6.8.2 on Leopard
 (10.5.1) intel and Tiger (10.4.11)
 intel and ppc.  New bootstrap compilers have been built and upload to
 haskell.org.  Leopard ppc
 will not be supported initially, since there is not yet a successful full
 build of ghc on that platform
 (linker bugs).

 The remaining problem seems to be a compiler bug which causes file locking
 errors. This was
 all rewritten for the 6.8 branch so it is not surprising.  The bug causes
 one out of every four or five
 ghc builds to fail, so it needs to be fixed before the 6.8.2 portfile is
 ready for general release.
