Re: 7.8 Release Update

Iavor, I think we'll need to update the list of DynFlags-imported modules for the windows DLL split for this to work. Check compiler/ghc.mk, and look at the variable 'compiler_stage2_dll0_modules' flag. This essentially contains a list of the modules reachable from DynFlags. Try updating this list with the offending modules that dll-split reported, and see if things go OK. If not, let me know and I'll check out your branch and take a look.

I think we are on track to get this done on time. The type-nats-simple branch should be working (at least when I build it with no dynamic libraries) and up to date with HEAD, and there are some tests in a branched version of the testuite.

One question: when I try to validate things, my build fails with this error:

Reachable modules from DynFlags out of date Please fix compiler/ghc.mk, or building DLLs on Windows may break (#7780) Extra modules: BinIface BuildTyCl CoreLint FamInst Finder IOEnv IfaceEnv LoadIface PrelInfo TcIface TcMType TcRnMonad TcRnTypes TcTypeNats

Any advice on what might be going wrong?
