So I'm getting some weird linking errors from cabal-install when doing `cabal configure && cabal build`

ld warning: atom sorting error for _postazm0zi2zi0_DataziMonoidziOrdziArgmax_Max_closure_tbl and _postazm0zi2zi0_DataziMonoidziOrdziArgmax_Min_closure_tbl in dist/build/Data/Monoid/Ord/Argmax.o

ld warning: atom sorting error for _postazm0zi2zi0_DataziMonoidziOrdziArgmax_Max_closure_tbl and _postazm0zi2zi0_DataziMonoidziOrdziArgmax_Min_closure_tbl in dist/build/Data/Monoid/Ord/Argmax.o

But cabal doesn't quit with an error code or anything. Doing `ghc --make Data/Monoid/Ord/Argmax.hs` works just fine without warnings. Anyone know what could cause them, or how to fix it?

If this is on OSX, my understanding is that these messages are harmless.

Apparently this has been fixed for 6.12, if you have a later version and it's still happening it's a regression and you should re-open the ticket.

It's OSX 10.5.8 and GHC 6.12.1 as packaged in haskell-platform-2010.1.0.1-i386.dmg It looks like that bug might only be fixed in 6.12.2? I dunno, Trac really needs some way of telling which non-HEAD version finally includes the fixes that close a ticket. I can never figure that out from reading the ticket... -- Live well, ~wren
