The error far below is caused by "-perm /a+x" in mk/bindist.mk during find:
I've changed it to "-perm -111"
Unfortunately, this will only find files with the executable bit set for user, group and owner, so it should be "-perm +111". However, even more unfortunately, at least the find(1) on OpenBSD doesn't support the +mode pattern. This isn't a problem, because bindist isn't very useful at all on OpenBSD, but it may be a problem on other systems (I don't know what implementation of find(1) are used on FreeBSD, NetBSD and MacOS X). A workaround *may* be to use "-perm -100" (setting the execute bit for group and others but not for the user would be really weird).
Then "make install" could not replace links:
ln -s runghc /local/home/maeder/bin/runhaskell ln: cannot create /local/home/maeder/bin/runhaskell: File exists gmake[2]: *** [install] Error 2
ln -fs should do the job. Ciao, Kili
