It seems this patch
50e78dafd0cac5ca3b28ef71559899f179343ddf
changed some sed expressions in rts/
ghc.mk that seem to be no longer firing on my Mac now. Mac has a different flavor of BSD sed and such.
The resulting contents of rts/libs.depend on my build attempt is
$ cat rts/libs.depend
m dl
/Users/nfrisby/Source/ghc-build-trees/vanilla/rts/dist/build
It's missing the -l and -L prefices that the sed commands are supposed to add.
I can hack around this on my Mac, but I'll leave the fix to someone with some portable sed fu.
Thanks.
