1.0.9 fails to pass 'make check' and 'make test_unit' on ppc. GHC Version: Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.8.2, for Haskell 98, stage 2 booted by GHC version 6.8.2 on PPC System: ppc GNU/Linux (Fedora) Take a 1.0.9 release tarball, apply the patches from http://bugs.darcs.net/issue544 and run autoconf, make. It will build just fine run make check and make test_unit

Oddly enough, make test_unit does not fail.

The bug reported in test_unit is just a bug in the unit test itself (part of why it's not run as part of make check). The problems with make check are weirder. I'm a bit puzzled, though, because I didn't think that darcs 1.0.9 would build with ghc 6.8.2 at all. David

It won't unless you apply the patches from issue544 (http://bugs.darcs.net/msg2244). I pulled those out of the repo and applied them before building.
