Currently -fglasgow-exts implies -fth

That is, you get Template Haskell if you specify -fglasgow-exts. The trouble is that if you don't know about TH, then the error messages can be deeply strange, as Marc found.

Thanks for this information. I didn't knew that. I've already read about thl but hadn't enough time to try it. The main problem was that I did compile ghc myself thus thinking I've messed something up.. ;) Marc
