The hpc library is the only one that requires the external hsc2hs. Is this new dependency intentional, or is this a build system bug?
I don't think that the build dep is necessary, but with the current filesystem layout it's a pain to avoid. We would need to, with the bootstrapping compiler: Build libraries/{filepath,Cabal,cabal-bin} Build utils/hsc2hs Build libraries/hpc Build compiler (stage 1) We plan to rewrite the build system for 6.12 anyway, so I think we should take care of this then. It probably makes sense to merge (some of?) "utils" and "libraries" into "packages". As far as 6.10 is concerned, we install hsc2hs with ghc by default, so I think it is reasonable to depend on it.
