The checkout clone process for 7.8.3 is very different from head.  What exact commands<br>
where you trying to do for the initial clone?<br>
I would use<br>
Git clone -b ghc-7.8.3 ghcUrl ; ./sync-all get I think. <br>
<br>
Point being the clone process is different. <br>

I was on the ghc-7.8.3-release git tag and updated the submodules, so I was on the right commit I think. Does &#39;sync-all get&#39; check out the correct commits or at least branches? I think that&#39;s the part that what went wrong.</blockquote></div>
