Is this http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=631073 ? Was
there something we can do about this (e.g. different build settings), or
do we have to wait for a fixed upstream version? Should we stop building
ghci on powerpc? And can we maybe add a check to the build so that it
fails if ghci does not work (e.g. with "ghc -e 'return()'")? Does "ghc
-e 'return()'" work on powerpc?

Greetings,
Joachim
