Ghc 7.7 and some 'missing' libraries

After a few attempts I've finally managed to build Ghc from Git. One thing I noticed was that a few libraries seem to have gone missing on the install. Does anyone know why this is?

As far as I know, the build system will only install those packages that are required for base, haskell98 and ghc (but not dph) packages, with the idea that users can install any other packages without breaking those core libraries. You can install everything using make install InstallExtraPackages=YES (you can also define InstallExtraPackages in ghc.mk) HTH, Bertram
