I would also add: does the threaded RTS support all platforms? For instance, GHC runs on my Alpha and on AIX, unregisterised. ghci doesn't run there, but GHC does. If you drop the non-threaded RTS, does that mean that GHC doesn't work there at all?
If those platforms support threads, there's no reason why the threaded RTS shouldn't work there. Also, GHCi should work on all platforms (even unregisterised) these days, including the FFI if there's support in libffi for that platform.
That's very good to hear.

That one is closed - fixed in 6.8.3 I think.
Oops, my mistake. I'll look into it again.

I did make a ticket for that:
