Control: reassign -1 ghc
Control: tag -1 + confirmed upstream patch pending
Control: rename -1 GHC generates bytecode that is not to llvm-3.3’s liking

this affects GHC, and is caused by llvm upgrade to 3.3, which does not
like the bytecode generated by GHC any more. I am about to upload a
fixed version of GHC by backporting a patch from upstream, but there
will likely be bootstrapping issues building the fixed GHC on arm*,
requiring a manual build using llvm-3.2 on a porters box first.

Greetings,
Joachim
