I'll mirror what Joachim said: just get something working. Having an email sent to ghc-devs@ every time something breaks (and getting down false positives here is very important) is already a huge win, no matter what kind of build system sits behind that email.
The ghc-builds mailing list has the all the results -- however, earlier there was the concern that folks do not want to watch it every day. I still do, just to know everything is all right. Filtering the false positives out might be solved automatically, I think, hopefully I can come up with a solution soon. Anyway, for starter, here is a nice core dump for linux-ppc64: chmod +x inplace/bin/dll-split inplace/bin/dll-split compiler/stage2/build/.depend-v-p-dyn.haskell "DynFlags" "Annotations Avail Bag BasicTypes BinIface Binary Bitmap BlockId BooleanFormula BreakArray BufWrite BuildTyCl ByteCodeAsm ByteCodeInstr ByteCodeItbls CLabel Class CmdLineParser Cmm CmmCallConv CmmExpr CmmInfo CmmMachOp CmmNode CmmType CmmUtils CoAxiom ConLike CodeGen.Platform CodeGen.Platform.ARM CodeGen.Platform.NoRegs CodeGen.Platform.PPC CodeGen.Platform.PPC_Darwin CodeGen.Platform.SPARC CodeGen.Platform.X86 CodeGen.Platform.X86_64 Coercion Config Constants CoreArity CoreFVs CoreLint CoreSubst CoreSyn CoreTidy CoreUnfold CoreUtils CostCentre DataCon Demand Digraph DriverPhases DsMonad DynFlags Encoding ErrUtils Exception ExtsCompat46 FamInstEnv FastBool FastFunctions FastMutInt FastString FastTypes Finder Fingerprint FiniteMap ForeignCall Hooks Hoopl Hoopl.Dataflow HsBinds HsDecls HsDoc HsExpr HsImpExp HsLit HsPat HsSyn HsTypes HsUtils HscTypes IOEnv Id IdInfo IfaceEnv IfaceSyn IfaceType InstEnv InteractiveEvalTypes Kind ListSetOps Literal LoadIface Maybes MkCore MkGraph MkId Module MonadUtils Name NameEnv NameSet OccName OccurAnal OptCoercion OrdList Outputable PackageConfig Packages Pair Panic PatSyn PipelineMonad Platform PlatformConstants PprCmm PprCmmDecl PprCmmExpr PprCore PrelInfo PrelNames PrelRules Pretty PrimOp RdrName Reg RegClass Rules SMRep Serialized SrcLoc StaticFlags StgCmmArgRep StgCmmClosure StgCmmEnv StgCmmLayout StgCmmMonad StgCmmProf StgCmmTicky StgCmmUtils StgSyn Stream StringBuffer TcEvidence TcIface TcRnMonad TcRnTypes TcType TcTypeNats TrieMap TyCon Type TypeRep TysPrim TysWiredIn Unify UniqFM UniqSet UniqSupply Unique Util Var VarEnv VarSet" make[1]: *** [compiler/stage2/dll-split.stamp] Segmentation fault make: *** [all] Error 2 For the details, please consult: http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/builders/linux-ppc64-head/6.html Karel (see CC'ed) runs the client, feel free to prod him for more.
