This is probably caused by old header files in includes/. Updating to the latest HEAD and making clean should fix it. Thanks Ian

Hello,

I'm trying to build GHC HEAD but get the following error:

The bug is in the GC_GENERIC macro on line 99:

Capability_interrupt(MyCapability()) != 0 :: CInt

However, I can't spot the problem.

I had the same recently, it's probably because GHCConstants.h and DerivedConstants.h have been moved but you still have them in include/ from a previous build. Deleting them should fix it.
