This is probably nothing to do with your branch per se, but perhaps you know an easy fix? Bootstrap compiler is ghc 7.10.1, on-path cabal is 1.22.3.0, linked against 1.22.4.0 of Cabal.

Thanks for your interest!

I've only ever tried bootstrapping with 7.8 and below. My last merge with master was Dec. 23, 2014, before 7.10 was released. I do seem to recall some bugs about bootstrapping with 7.10 -- these may have happened after Dec. 23.

I don't plan to merge master in again for the next month, so you may need to go back to 7.8 to get this working -- sorry.

Ah, okay. No worries, using 7.8.3 as the bootstrapping compiler is a simple matter, I've tons of ghcs installed :) Just didn't occur to me that that might help. It's compiling away now, looking forward to experimenting with this!
