I see that anything involving ghci fails:

/c/code/HEAD/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive

GHCi, version 8.1.20161209: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help

ghc-stage2.exe: unable to load package `base-4.9.0.0'

Yes, Tamar and I were working on tracking this down over the last few days. The patch (which I will merge after a running validation finishes) is D2817.

For the record I was able to validate this locally and merged it. Unfortunately it seems that Harbormaster still chokes, so your milage may vary. I'll have a look tomorrow. The saga continues... Cheers, - Ben
