New ghc6 needs manual bootstrapping for C++ ABI/libgmp3 transition.

[Kurt Roeckx]

Hi,

Because of the C++ ABI transition, ghc6 needs to be rebuild
against the new libgmp3c2. This however requires a manual
bootstrap because all build dependencies can't be installed.
We're however lucky that the old and new libgmp3 are compatible
and nothing is using any C++. This allows an easy workaround.

I'm still looking for people who want to build it on one of the
following arches: hppa, ia64, powerpc and s390.

To build it, follow the instruction in
debian/bootstrap-extracted.


PS: The build dependency on libgmp3-dev should have been

= 4.1.4-7, 4.1.4-10 is currently the latest in sid and available

on all arches.

I'll be building hppa/ia64 this week/weekend.

Done. Btw, if I'm silly enough to try to rebuild ghc6 using the
newly-built ghc6, then haddock is FTBFS (after ghc6, build happy, then
try haddock...):

thoughts?

I was silly enough... When I did it for powerpc, I bootstrapped ghc6,
then built happy, haddock and haskell-utils, then rebuilt ghc6 with
sbuild and my new packages.

Did you patch for #300385 and #316657?
