Hi Greg, I used 6.8.1 as bootstrap. I have a 6.6.1 so I'll try again with it. But it is good news to know that it is building on your Mac. Now I have more hope :-) Thanks, Christophe.

Was someone able to build ghc 6.8.2 on PPC with OS X 10.4 (Tiger) ? I had no problems to build the 6.8.1 but with 6.8.2, I get the error:
I was able to build 6.8.2 three times on PPC/Tiger (10.4.11) without error using 6.6.1 as a boostrap compiler. What are you using to compile 6.8.2?
