Re: Cannot make ghc: Failed to load interface for GHC.Base
Closed, but a note to interested readers:
killy9999 on #ghc realized the reason why the stage1 compiler cannot be
built with this patch is related to that several test suite programs exit
with erros like this:
GHC/Base.lhs:1:1:
GHC internal error: 'GHC.Base.Monad' is not in scope during type
checking, but it passed the renamer
tcl_env of environment: []
So the error is resolved, and now productive debugging can start.

Sorry! I thought I got this build error when making HEAD, but I don't. It builds fine.
However, if I just cherry-pick this simple commit onto HEAD https://github.com/danr/ghc/commit/86631ffd294af320cb9b00e1a593201af887ed72 , then I do get this error, which is very puzzling. I did a make maintainer-clean in between.

When was the last time you cleaned your tree? Earlier this week I made a breaking change to the interface file format. If you have a build from before then, update and incrementally rebuild, it will break.
I tried all of clean, distclean and maintainer-clean, followed by the usual build process. The issue remains.

Wait.. are you saying that with HEAD several test suite programs fail as you describe below? If so, which?
