I still have to find my noticeses about wether cBooterVersion affects more than only the ghc lib.
Did a quick test the other day; bootstrapping ghc-7.0.3 from ghc-6.12.3 with two different VERSION_DATE files. The only visible change was in the ghc library, so this part indeed isn't worth any work.
So something about the order of arguments changed. I don’t see how that should be influenced by the bootstrapping compiler, but I hope it is – if it were not any rebuild of ghc would risk changing the ABI hashes...
I just redid the experiment with 7.0.3 vs. 7.0.2, and now only the hash of the ghc package changed when building 7.0.3 with 7.0.3 instead of 7.0.2, but the other hashes stayed stable. Given that only few libraries use the ghc package, this is good enough for Debian. I’m uploading ghc-7.0.3 to Debian very shortly, but will not rebuild it before triggering rebuilds of all libraries.
