while better than rc1, there are still build failures on debian, on architectures mips, mipsel and s390, example excerpt from https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ghc&arch=sparc&ver=7.2.1-1&stamp=1314306502

ghc-stage1: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) (GHC version 7.2.1 for s390-ibm-linux): elfSectionNote ArchUnknown

And similar for mipsel-unknown-linux and mips-unknown-linux.

Could you make them known in the next release?

sorry for causing this bug. Simon Marlow fixed this in:

commit f0191c559d683b5bac12243c0db3b780b684799e Author: Simon Marlow Date: Wed Aug 10 10:02:55 2011 +0100

default to using @note for saving the linker opts (someone mentioned that it wasn't working on Alpha, because we had explicitly listed the arches rather than having a sensible fallback).

It seems that this fix did not make it into the 7.2.2 release. Was that intentional? What must happen for it to be included in the next release? Same for the change here: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/changeset/0f0a3c97101ae7a877b76af4ac0299...
