I get a strange error building Takusen (more precisely: the module Foreign/C/UTF8.hs) with ghc-6.8.3. It says
[1 of 9] Compiling Foreign.C.UTF8 ( Foreign/C/UTF8.hs, dist/build/Foreign/C/UTF8.o ) /tmp/ghc18936_0/ghc18936_0.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ghc18936_0/ghc18936_0.s:1257:0: Error: symbol `base_GHCziBase_Z0T_closure' is already defined
I compiled ghc-6.8.3 from source, using ghc-6.8.2 to bootstrap.
What happens when you say: ghc -c Foreign/C/UTF8.hs I expect you get the same error. If so, then this is one for ghc maintainers. If not, then we'll have to do some more digging. Alistair
