I have some doubts regarding LLVM, since it automatically optimizes the code for the build architecture and chances are that it will not run on older x86_64. I think it's better to wait until llvm-3.5, which should remove the auto optimization.

Hi all,

Now there's a new version of GHC out, 7.8.3.  This means a complete
rebuild of [haskell-core] is necessary, which also means that NOW is
the perfect time to make fundamental changes to our packages, e.g. to
change from the 'perf' build profile to 'pref-llvm', or move the
location of the documentation.

I've not received any such wishes via issues on Github, but maybe
there's someone out there thinking "oh, if they only changed this in
how Arch Haskell packages are built, then the world would be 10 times
better".  If you are that someone, then please speak up now! :)

I'll start the big rebuild at 12:00 UTC tomorrow, 2014-07-14.  So you
have until then to voice your suggestions.

/M

As long as there are ill-defined goals, bizarre bugs, and unrealistic
schedules, there will be Real Programmers willing to jump in and Solve The
Problem, saving the documentation for later.  Long live Fortran!
