Ian I'm stuck again. This time I'm trying to run nofib. But all attempts yield gibberish below Apparently mk/config.mk.in contains GHC_STAGE2 = $(ghc-stage2_INPLACE) which is, I believe, essential to nofib. But I can't see anywhere that ghc-stage2_INPLACE is set. It would be great to have your help in getting un-stuck.
