true, but doesn't 6.8.2 itself have the same ABI as any other 6.8.2, not counting packages?
against a different set of packages.
hmm. different versions? I think it might work out since I installed everything locally, if I just install the versions of the extra-libs that came with the 6.8.2 bindist... Or do I have too great hopes in the reproducibility of ghc compilations? (Not that I have any reason to try that. I would probably just pull from the 6.8-darcs-branch to get your patch (and other post-6.8.2 fixes) and recompile everything anyway.) ~Isaac
